Julian Sartorius / Percussion

Percussionist Julian Sartorius finds his own, unusual answers to this question. Instead of playing a drum set on stage, he turns the building into an instrument. Using sticks and mallets, the former drummer for Sophie Hunger elicits a wide variety of sounds from walls and objects during his »soundwalks«. Julian Sartorius played drums in Sophie Hunger’s band from 2008 to 2010. Hunger has now invited him to be part of her »Reflektor« festival at the Elbphilharmonie with his walkabouts accompanied by sound. Sartorius’s longest soundwalks were through his Swiss homeland and he released them as albums under the title »Hidden Tracks«: for this, Sartorius walked around 270 kilometres from Basel to Geneva and climbed the 4,000-metre-high Weissmies. In contrast, the walk from the Plaza through the foyers of the Elbphilharmonie will be an easy tour – but at least as exciting in terms of sound. The walks start on the Plaza at the base of the staircase to the Grand Hall. Please note that this event is unfortunately not accessible for people with limited mobility.

Julian Prégardien | Kristian Bezuidenhout

Schuberts berühmter Liederzyklus »Die schöne Müllerin« in prominenter Besetzung: Tenor Julian Prégardien trifft Tastenpoet Kristian Bezuidenhout. Das Instrument ihrer Wahl ist ein Hammerklavier mit seinem leiseren, gesanglichen Klang: So haben wir Schuberts Liederzyklus noch nicht gehört!Franz Schubert schuf vor rund 200 Jahren den ersten erzählenden Liederzyklus der Romantik: »Die schöne Müllerin«. Dabei schwebte ihm sicherlich nicht das Klangbild des voluminösen Steinway-Flügels vor, sondern die durchsichtigere Farbe des Hammerklaviers. Für dieses Instrument entschieden sich Sänger Julian Prégardien und Pianist Kristian Bezuidenhout – und plötzlich wird eine enorm breite Ausdruck- und Dynamikpalette möglich und der intime kammermusikalische Ursprung des Liederzyklus neu erlebbar.

Workshop: Klassiko Percussion Instruments

In addition to the classic percussion instruments used in a symphony orchestra, this workshop also takes a look at rhythm instruments from other continents. Participants can try out all the instruments, find their own rhythm – and beat the drums together in the final concert.
