In “VerFührung”, the last performance in the “Mensch, Musik!” series, the work by Thomas Kessler/Saul Williams “‘said the shotgun to the head” for recitation, rap choir and orchestra is the centre of attention.Life is constantly about questions of leadership and seduction, starting with the fact that I have to lead my own life and deal with the various seductions that present themselves to me. But seduction has never been as ubiquitous as it is today. Technological progress makes it possible more than ever to reach every individual at any time and in any place with targeted images and sounds. We are constantly exposed to the whispers of the various political, economic and erotic pick-up artists that populate the global public sphere.How do I deal with this as an individual? Which guidance and which seduction do I seek? Which do I succumb to, which do I resist? Who do I allow to lead me? By whom will I be led astray? In other words: How do I find my own ground and how do I stand on it?„Leading (Astray)” takes up these questions and expands them to include the consideration of how people can be seduced into doing good by aesthetic means.The AI-based short film installation “/Sleep” by Ossagrosse can be experienced in the foyer of the Haus des Rundfunks before and after the performance in the auditorium. The short stories are set in supermarkets, busy streets and other everyday environments, told sometimes distantly, sometimes intimately by the narrator’s voice and the almost human figures that populate these worlds. The result of this work in space is a series of images and sounds that come together to create a stream of consciousness, a living environment that speaks.The concert will be broadcast on 31 May 2024 at 8.03 pm on Deutschlandfunk Kultur.
Behind the partially reconstructed façade of the Berlin Palace, the Humboldt Forum opens up with collections from many cultures around the world. The musicians return to the historic location where the RSB has performed several times in the Palace of the Republic in the past. Inspired by the collections and exhibitions, they will play micro-concerts on the six museum Sundays from November 2024 to April 2025, each at 14:00. Entry is free. The programmes of the concerts will be announced on the websites of the RSB and the Humboldt Forum before the respective dates.
Scheherazade captivated Sultan Schahriar with wondrous tales and songs for 1001 nights, escaping death. Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov's "Scheherazade" suite, based on "One Thousand and One Nights", is a colorful composition. The solo violin and harp weave enchanting melodies as Scheherazade narrates, escaping death. Conducted by Andrea Sanguineti, the Essen Philharmonic Orchestra transports listeners to a mystical world.
