Expedition Tirili

Expedition Tirili

For our "Expedition TIRILI" we usually travel light and without an elaborate stage set to the daycare centres of Berlin and Brandenburg. Now the "Expedition TIRILI" is also making a stop in the rank foyer of the Deutsche Oper Berlin for a few play dates and invites you to experience the sounds on the sand-coloured carpet and on brightly coloured seat cushions. Children are a great audience: open, curious, enthusiastic. They miss neither curtain nor orchestra pit and have no fixed idea of how an audience should behave. They are born explorers. And two musicians accompany them on their musical-theatrical voyage of discovery. Together they ask themselves: How are sounds created? What is music made of? Who or what is this mysterious TIRILI? For "Expedition TIRILI" we worked together with children from the Kastanienallee day-care centre in cooperation with TUKI. In the run-up, we experimented with sounds and themes in the nursery. This process flowed into the development of the production.

»Expedition Mozart«

Mozart, Mozart, Mozart! Pianist and passionate chamber musician Kit Armstrong has invited an illustrious group of musical friends, such as the concertmaster of the Berlin Philharmonic Noah Bendix-Balgley and three renowned string quartets, to take part in the Elbphilharmonie Mozart Festival. On their »Expedition Mozart« they revel in the composer’s classics, but also explore rarely performed chamber music. Kit Armstrong himself is represented with two piano concertos, one of which is chamber music through and through, while the other is a large-scale symphonic work. In the Sinfonia Concertante, Noah Bendix-Balgley and Amihai Grosz vie with one another. The composer himself would certainly have appreciated a musical evening of this kind with friends! If you still haven’t had enough of the great Viennese composer after an entire evening of him, why not stay for the late-night concert to round off the evening? You can hear »Eine kleine Nachtmusik« (what else?!), framing rare chamber music gems.

Maria Ioudenitch. Stanislav Ioudenitch Duo-Expedition

Rising violinist Maria Ioudenitch and her pianist father, Stanislav, share a close bond both personally and musically. Their program begins with Beethoven's last violin sonata, followed by Ravel's, featuring a jazzy "Blues" movement. After works by the Boulanger sisters—Nadia's song "Soleils Couchants" and Lili's Nocturne and Cortège—they perform Bartók's first sonata, with its dissonances mirroring occasional family life tensions.
