Piazzolla for eight cellos

That many cellos? Whoever heard of such a thing? And yet, the repertoire for cello ensembles continues to grow. It is not only about elaborations but also brand new songs because bands are still being formed, and they must have something to play. Where did this come from? If one were to look back in the history of music, an association with viola consorts comes to mind. In the Renaissance and Baroque periods, this was the name given to ensembles of related instruments of different sizes and scales, which evolved into the violins, violas, cellos and double basses we know today so well. However, music for ensembles of violins or violas alone exists today in marginal quantities. At the same time, cello groups are flourishing! In this way, cellists make up for themselves years of existence in the shadow of violinists. Their instrument has an extensive scale, which is very friendly to our ears and similar to the human voice. The sound of the cello has a warm and dark, deep tone. Its singing impresses us. The singing of five, six, or eight cellos is already a real choir, especially when they are NOSPR cellos ... Adam Suprynowicz Concert duration: approximately 90 minutes

MUSIC FOR A FUTURE WITHOUT GUARANTEES

How to deal with the uncertainty of the future? Together with the audience, singer Zola Mennenöh and composer Max Andrzejewski set out in search of musical answers. Inspired by the artist and researcher Lisa Nyberg, they use poetic song lyrics and chamber music with influences from new music and jazz to encourage openness, curiosity and hope in dealing with uncertainty. ‘Our times demand that we learn new skills,’ write Mennenöh and Andrzejewski - including ’actions that involve our body and our feelings and thus awaken self-efficacy and creative power.’ In contact with the audience, the result is a concert evening with chamber music, improvisation and spoken word that transcends formats and genres. The event will be held in English.
