Ensemble Resonanz

Mon, Dec 16, 2024, 20:00

Laeiszhalle, Großer Saal (Hamburg)

Ensemble Resonanz, Hanna Herfurtner (Soprano), Anne Bierwirth (Mezzo-Soprano), Mirko Ludwig (Tenor), Simon Schnorr (Bass), Johannes Öllinger (Electric Guitar), Markus Schwind (Trumpet), Michael Petermann (Vintage keyboards)

Why would an ensemble that made its name performing rarities from early and contemporary music then turn to the most successful oratorio of the Baroque? Ensemble Resonanz would presumably answer, »Christmas without the Christmas Oratorio is only half the story. As often as you may have heard or played the piece, you still want to hear or play it again.« The ensemble has been performing its own version of Bach’s Christmas classic for six years now – pared down and with unconventional instrumentation, a little like a concert at home for friends. The concert hall becomes a sitting room, the musicians become a choir, and the work becomes chamber music with Baroque violas, electric guitar and vintage keyboards.

Ensemble Resonanz & Guests

Thu, Mar 28, 2024, 20:00

Laeiszhalle, Kleiner Saal (Hamburg)

Ensemble Resonanz, Hanna Herfurtner (Soprano), Anne Bierwirth (Alto), Thomas Volle (Tenor), Georg Gädker (Bariton), Simon Schnorr (Bass), Markus Schwind (Trumpet), Johannes Öllinger (Electric Guitar), Michael Petermann (Electric continuo)

A story about friendship and betrayal, violence and denunciation, crucifixion and violent death. Ensemble Resonanz dives into the heated events of Bach’s St John Passion and presents its own, intimate version with a chamber-music line-up. The notes remain unchanged, but there is no turba choir. Instead, a guitar and electronic continuo head off together on spheric forays.

Ensemble Resonanz / Jeroen Berwaerts

Tue, Mar 5, 2024, 19:30

Elbphilharmonie, Kleiner Saal (Hamburg)

Ensemble Resonanz, Jeroen Berwaerts (Trumpet), Alexander Krimer (Cor anglais), Johannes Fischer (Conductor), Annette Kurz (Scenography)

In everyday life, the city is more than just a background, a collective experiment in the social laboratory, a place for life and stories, for memories and longing: Ensemble Resonanz accompanies Copland to nighttime New York, and Tchaikovsky to an Italian summer; it lets Vito Zuraij serve up a surprise or two, then travels on to Rome and joins forces with Vivier to look behind the scenes at ourselves and at a foreign environment. A melancholy trumpet tune rises from the nocturnal solitude, gently underscored by shimmering strings, and fantasises about people’s nighttime thoughts in a city that never sleeps. This concert opens with Aaron Copland’s ode to New York »Quiet Cities«, which captures the feeling of space and the American spirit even in this huge metropolis. By way of contrast, Claude Vivier immerses himself in the sphere of mystery and longing with a work at once accessible and yet enigmatic, full of free-floating melodies that bring to life recollections of foreign places, people and musical traditions. In his »Souvenir de Florence«, Tchaikovsky blends his personal memories of an Italian summer with Russian folk music, while Ensemble Resonanz combines Tchaikovsky with Andrew Norman’s »Companion Guide to Rome«, each part of which consists of a study of Roman buildings. Can floor decoration be audible? Can music be turned into wallpaper?

Kölner Philharmonie (Köln)

Abel Selaocoe (Cello), Abel Selaocoe (Stimme), Sidiki Dembélé (Percussion), Saerom Park (Cello), Ensemble Resonanz (Ensemble)

Out of the Box: Wenn Abel Selaocoe die Bühne betritt, gibt es nur noch die Musik – jenseits aller Genregrenzen und Erwartungshaltungen. Klassik und Weltmusik verschmelzen in seiner virtuosen Performance aus klassischem Cellospiel, Improvisation, Gesang und Bodypercussion zu einem einmaligen Musikerlebnis.Neben dem Klassiker »Waldesruh« von Antonín Dvořák hat der südafrikanische Cellist auch »We Were Trees« des italienischen Cellisten und Komponisten Giovanni Sollima aufs Programm gesetzt: ein wahres Klangabenteuer mit einem Mix verschiedener Stile, mal klassisch, mal folkloristisch, mal perkussiv, mal meditativ. Mit dem Ensemble Resonanz hat er dafür ideale Verbündete gefunden, die in ihren Konzerten ebenfalls mit Enthusiasmus innovative und neue Wege gehen, mal als Residenzensemble der Hamburger Elbphilharmonie, mal im selbst gegründeten Kammermusikclub auf St. Pauli. Gefördert vom Kuratorium KölnMusik e.V.

Ensemble Resonanz / Véronique Gens / Riccardo Minasi

Thu, Apr 25, 2024, 20:00

Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)

Ensemble Resonanz, Véronique Gens (Soprano), Riccardo Minasi (Conductor)

With his Fourth Symphony, Brahms left posterity an orchestral monolith, austere and monumental, the sum of his ability as a composer and an expression of radical tradition. In this concert, Brahms’s legacy is juxtaposed with dramatic atmosphere from Locatelli and with Berlioz’s unique piece about the death of Cleopatra, with soprano and Berlioz specialist Véronique Gens in the title role. In this programme the Hamburg-based Ensemble Resonanz combines three composers who broke rules and set standards: Pietro Antonio Locatelli, sometimes regarded as the Paganini of the 18th century, was a lover of effects and dramatic atmosphere taken from the wunderkammer of Baroque instrumental music. Hector Berlioz submitted his bold cantata about the death of Cleopatra for the Prix de Rome, but it was rejected as being too daring. The Symphony No. 4 in E minor is the last symphony from the pen of Johannes Brahms, the sum of his own resources as a composer, and of the entire history of Western composition. Picking up where Bach and Beethoven left off, Brahms recycles material from music history, combining tradition with ideas that are thoroughly innovative. Everything flows here from the outset; the music is a fabric where everything is in motion; all certainty is lost: the Fourth is a complex work that breaks through all manner of formal boundaries.

Ensemble Resonanz / Abel Selaocoe / Saerom Park

Wed, Jun 11, 2025, 19:30

Elbphilharmonie, Kleiner Saal (Hamburg)

Ensemble Resonanz, Abel Selaocoe (Cello), Abel Selaocoe (Vocals), Saerom Park (Cello)

South African cellist Abel Selaocoe redefines the parameters of the cello and combines virtuoso skills with improvisation, singing and body percussion. He has found an ideal ally in Ensemble Resonanz, which also enthusiastically explores innovative and new paths in its concerts, sometimes as the Ensemble in Residence of the Elbphilharmonie Hamburg and sometimes in the chamber music club it founded itself in the Hamburg district of St Pauli. Together they move through worlds, genres and eras – until they arrive together in the future. In »Silent Woods« by Antonín Dvořák, the leaves rustle in the wind with four celli. »When We Were Trees« by Italian cellist and composer Giovanni Sollima takes us through the seasons in a true sound adventure with a mix of different styles – sometimes classical, sometimes folkloristic, sometimes percussive, sometimes meditative. Kate Moore contributes a new composition for cello and Selaocoe’s voice.

Nouruz Ensemble

Wed, Feb 12, 2025, 19:30

Elbphilharmonie, Kleiner Saal (Hamburg)

Bassem Hawar (Joza), Bassem Hawar (Director), Saad Mahmoud Jawad (Oud), Kioomars Musayyebi (Santur), Rageed William (Duduk), Rageed William (Nai), Reza Samani (Percussion), Reza Samani (Daf), Reza Samani (Tombak), Rita William (Vocals)

Nouruz is the New Year’s and spring festival in the Persian and Kurdish cultures. The Nouruz Ensemble led by Iraqi Bassem Hawar also understands »spring« as a departure – towards exciting encounters between the musicians and their second home in Germany, and with other musical styles. In this concert, however, they focus entirely on their roots. A musical journey takes the ensemble from Basra in southern Iraq to Mosul in the north. They perform pieces from the southern marshlands and poetry set to music by Iraqi Assyrians and Arameans from northern Iraq, as well as classical Arabic maqam music from the area around Baghdad and all over the country. Bassem Hawar is a virtuoso on the Iraqi joza violin, which he built and developed himself; he founded the Nouruz Ensemble as a quartet in 2018. He combines a wide variety of musical styles with virtuosity, and is a tireless ambassador for the music of his homeland. Hawar is joined by the Iranian Kiomars Musayyebi on the delicate dulcimer santur and Saad Mahmoud Jawad, one of Iraq’s most renowned oud players. Other members of Nouruz are Persian percussionist Reza Samani, who has long had his roots in the Cologne area, and the Iraqi Rageed William on Armenia’s national instrument, the melancholy-sounding shawm duduk and the smoky-sounding flute nai. The guest vocalist is Baghdad-born Rita William, who works at the interface between Christian and Arabic singing.
