A CELEBRATION FOR THE VIOLIN

"You can hardly play the violin more expressively and uncompromisingly than Gringolts", writes Harald Eggebrecht in the Süddeutsche Zeitung about this exceptional musician. Ilya Gringolts won the renowned Paganini Competition at the age of 16. Since then, he has put his virtuosity at the service of subtle interpretations. Together with the Camerata Bern, he presents a programme from the end of the 17th [...]

JOHANNES-PASSION

Elbphilharmonie - Great Hall Platz d. Deutsche Einheit 4, Hamburg, Germany

"The Gaechinger Cantorey is ... an experience. There was a special highlight in the Great Hall" wrote Marcus Stäbler in the Hamburger Abendblatt about the Elbphilharmonie debut a year ago: "The performers are magical, and the Great Hall is magical too... Hans-Christoph Rademann models the mood changes of the mass vividly and grippingly. With the 36 singers of his wide-awake choir, [...]

SOUND COLOR FRENZY

Elbphilharmonie - Great Hall Platz d. Deutsche Einheit 4, Hamburg, Germany

Although Henri Dutilleux was a contemporary and colleague of the avant-garde composer Pierre Boulez, his musical language was always too dogmatic for him. Instead, Dutilleux loved the musical "fragrance" and richness of sound that connected him with his great compatriot Debussy. With his Second Symphony, Dutilleux wrote a work in 1959 that is a distant link to the music of the 18th century. [...]

THOMAS HENGELBROCK: Beethoven & Cherubini

Philharmonie Berlin - Great Hall Philharmonie Berlin, Great Hall, Berlin, Germany

"I am delighted whenever I hear a new work of yours and take a greater interest in it than in my own. In short, I honor and love you," Ludwig van Beethoven once wrote to Luigi Cherubini. His admiration for his fellow composer went so far that he even wished for Cherubini's Requiem to be played at his own funeral [...].

THINKING HANDS

It sounds strange and fascinating at the same time: While a ceramist and a knot artist perform their work on stage, a magical dance symbolizing their craft is presented in the background - a rare opportunity to experience traditional Korean crafts and dance on stage. Thinking Hands: Dance of [...]

VOICES Festival: THEATER OF IMAGINATION Ten' Theater

Cold store Luckenwalder Str. 3, Berlin

The Theater of Imagination transfers the performance into the minds of the audience: the description of the events is projected onto a screen. The imagined stage action - famous, real productions - is as exciting or boring as our imagination. Attention! The management of the Theater der Phantasie accepts no responsibility for the imaginary obscenities, violent scenes and [...]

VOICES Festival: TUMBLEWEED & IN DA CHAOS

Cold store Luckenwalder Str. 3, Berlin

Tatiana Chizhikova uses solid and condensed choreographic forms for her works, while their emotional content is rather complex and highly charged. In her new solo performance, she works with a simple found object, a stick. She uses it to unfold a detailed movement research on the subject of rootedness, grounding or staggering and displacement. Tatiana Chizhikova: "I have a dry stick [...]
