Kölner Philharmonie (Köln)
Johanna Zimmer (Soprano), Christina Daletska (Mezzo-Soprano), Ensemble Musikfabrik (Ensemble), Emilio Pomàrico (Conductor)
Für ihn ist Komponieren eine Art Medikament gegen die Gewalt des Lebens. Georges Aperghis ist »eine unverwechselbare Stimme und ein herausragender Komponist unserer Zeit«, so die Würdigung der Ernst-von-Siemens-Musikstiftung. Bei »Selfie in the Dark« handelt es sich um einen Kompositionsauftrag des Festivals, der hier zur Uraufführung kommt – und dass der Aperghis in Erinnerung an seine verstorbene Frau Edith komponiert hat. Auf der Suche nach dem Klang der Stille hingegen komponierte Eivind Buene 2017 im norwegischen Winter »Lessons in Darkness« und imaginierte dabei das Ensemble als menschliche Gemeinschaft. Ergänzt wird das Programm durch eine:n Preisträger:in des ACHT BRÜCKEN Kompositionswettbewerbs. Gefördert durch das Kuratorium KölnMusik e.V. Gefördert durch die Kunststiftung NRWDas Konzert wird vom WDR für den Hörfunk aufgezeichnet und kann am 23. Dezember 2025 im Radio und anschließend für 30 Tage auf wdr3.de nachgehört werden.

For the anniversary concert, the orchestra under the direction of Wolf Tobias M.

musica viva: Matthias Hermann

Fri, Jun 23, 2023, 20:00
Herkulessaal (München)
Matthias Hermann (Conductor), Gitarren-Duo Scheidegger/Schmidt:, Mats Scheidegger (Guitar), Stephan Schmidt (Guitar), Yuko Kakuta (Soprano), Pierre-Laurent Aimard (Piano), Horngruppe des Symphonieorchesters des Bayerischen Rundfunks, Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks
A feast of sound for Helmut Lachenmann: The horn section and the BRSO, conducted by Matthias Hermann, will present the world premiere of the final version of My Melodies. The composition opens up an enormous range of performing possibilities and reveals new dimensions of sound, transforming the music to an “object of observation” and the concert hall to a “place of adventure” (Lachenmann). Pierre-Laurent Aimard and Yuko Kakuta will perform Lachenmann’s Got Lost: a highly virtuosic piece in which verses by Friedrich Nietzsche and Fernando Pessoa are juxtaposed with a short note about a lost laundry basket. The three texts are “stripped of their emotive, poetic, mundane diction […], and sent into a constantly changing intervallic field of sound, resonance, and movement” (Lachenmann).
