Spring concert

One cello – 12 cellists?!

A concert for
cello, looping and electronics

with

Christoph Schenker (Leipzig)

A concert that does not take place within a purely classical framework, as Christoph Schenker plays and creates live pieces with a loop station, various effects and electronic amplification that go far beyond the sound of a solo cello.
As CELLORAZADE, with duo partner Sascha Werchau, he has already thrilled the Musiksommer audience. You can now look forward to new sound experiences in his solo performance.

Summer concert 2

Malte Vief’s
‘KAMMER’
Still waters are Vief

with
Malte Vief
(composition and guitar)
and accompaniment by
cello and violin

Powerful musical movements, yet even, sometimes meditative-repititive and – what is particularly pleasantly unusual – inexhaustibly eventful.
Accompanied by cello and violin, Malte Vief’s KAMMER is precision work. Reflective, creative and once again as innovative as sow, the sky is brought down to earth rather than flown away from it with wonderfully touching and surprising melodies and nuances.
The true and beautiful.
