I Compani plays two different projects here with two different line-ups.
The current standard line up as a septet could be heard on various stages in the autumn of 2023.
A mixed repertoire of older and new work in new arrangements. The idiosyncratic mix of styles, ranging from vaudeville, (free) Jazz, circus and theater music, is characteristic of the ensemble that was founded in 1985 by saxophonist and composer Bo van de Graaf.


The new photo project “Jan van Teeffelen, a legendary photographer from Nijmegen - Bo's hometown - is also unique in its diversity. Performed by a 10-person line-up, photos were accompanied by live music. The Italian sentiment is echoed in many pieces.

UIT DE PERS

  • UGENDA

    "Tivolux is voor wie van een tikje burlesque, circusachtige, goed in het gehoor liggende en toch verdraaid lastig en listig gespeelde muziek houdt zeker een aanrader."


    Jan Maurits Schouten,  juli 2024

  • JAZZFLITS

    "Met oude getrouwen en de nieuwste

    aanwinst (hoboïste Maripepa Contreras) in de gelederen is er dan voldoende aanleiding om deze nieuwe zet in de geschiedenis ven I Compani te boekstaven."


    Herman te Loo, 3 juni 2024

  • BAD ALCHEMIE

    "... Wer braucht eigentlich all die Cäsarenfressen, wenn es Tati und Rota – oder deren Updates – gibt? Statt dass wie bei I Compani seit fast 40 Jahren die Charter of Fundamental Rights in bezaubernder Selbstverständlichkeit widerhallt, klaf­fen ringsum Ordinärstes und Elitäres auseinander, und die Mitte verdummt im Banalen. 


    Rigobert Dittmann [mei 2024]
