The Essen Philharmonic's 18th annual Organ Prize Winners' Concert showcases young virtuosos whose nimble fingers and feet glide across the Kuhn organ's keys and pedals. These musicians, proven masters through renowned competitions like the "Grand Prix de Chartres", "St. Albans", and "ION", are poised for international careers. This season, they present their chosen compositions and improvisations.
In 2004, six limitless voices from Finland, Rajaton, first graced the a cappella festival in Leipzig. Their name, meaning "boundless," reflects their style, transcending genre boundaries with exceptional voices and stage presence. Returning for the festival's anniversary, they'll perform highlights from their career, including Finnish songs, original compositions, ABBA and Queen covers, and new pieces.
»It all started in 1995, at a student party now and then...«, and since then three men and one woman from northern Germany have been delighting their large music and comedy fan base throughout Germany with nothing but their voices and boundless creativity. LaLeLu, the unique a cappella comedy quartet from Hamburg, is celebrating its 30th anniversary on stage, making it one of the few bands with such an enduring success story.
Inspired by György Ligeti's microtonality, Lithuanian composer Justė Janulytė's "Iridescence" features vibrant soundscapes and ever-changing harmonies. The spiraling sound, evoking infinity and eternal light, connects with the ancient text in Helmut Lachenmann's "Consolation." Josef Gabriel Rheinberger's "Cantus missae" shares this theme of eternal faith, showcasing the Liechtenstein composer's emphatic style.
Fascinatingly fragile tonal images: Exaudi is one of the world’s leading vocal ensembles with a strong affinity for the outlying margins of new and ancient music. This group of singers can now be experienced at Musikfest Berlin in a late-night concert of chromatically spectacular Renaissance music. In the Papal chapel singer and music theorist Vicente Lusitano an artist is also represented who is now thought likely to be the first Black composer to be published in Europe.
