The language of flowers

MUSIC – THE ULTIMATE LANGUAGE OF FEELINGS

What feelings can music evoke when you listen to it? Which instruments can be played to express emotions? And are there pieces that just touch everyone? These and many other questions are at the centre of our first family concert this season. Through various pieces of music, we take you on a very unique journey through the world of musical emotions. The concert will be hosted by Tobias Krell, known as »Checker Tobi« from his shows on ARD and various other channels. In our family concert, we invite him to join us on stage as presenter, and he will explore the topic of feelings in music together with you. The programme of the concert will be conducted by Katharina Wincor, who won 3rd prize in our conducting competition THE MAHLER COMPETITION 2020 at the Bamberg Concert Hall. Join us and experience this interactive and fun concert for the whole family!

Sound of Silence · Chorwerk Ruhr

The Chorwerk Ruhr and conductor Florian Helgath explore the "Sound of Silence" through Italian Early Baroque madrigals and improvisations by jazz pianist Marc Schmolling and his ensemble. Schmolling's album "Ticho" (Czech for silence) sets the tone, blending instrumental layers, text declamation, and vocalizations with choral singing. The program features works by Gesualdo and Monteverdi, highlighting the expressive power of silence in music, in collaboration with the city of Worms and supported by the Rheinhessen Sparkasse and the Hess family.

Adam und Eva

In 1972, East German writer Peter Hacks surprised audiences with his comedic adaptation of Adam and Eve's fall from grace. Hacks' play, Adam und Eva, humorously examines the absurdities of existence and advocates for freedom from moral categories. Composer Mike Svoboda, known for his work in new music, jazz, and performance, sets Hacks' comedy to music, with a libretto by Anne-May Krüger, making its themes relevant to today's audiences.

Casal Quartett

Vegetarians can rejoice! The Casal Quartet's three-course concert avoids Saint-Saëns' animal-themed Carnival. Instead, Mozart, Grieg, Gershwin, and Piazzolla offer culinary freedom between movements, complemented by a Gyrowetz quartet. This promises a playful, diverse experience for the palate. If the Quartet performs with their usual finesse, it's a feast for the ears too. The evening, hosted by the Quartet, features a "Flying Dinner" near the Mozartsaal with standing and seating options. Table reservations (for those needing seats) are handled by Schlossrestaurant "Theodors".

Lucas & Arthur Jussen

Dance liberates. Stravinsky's Rite of Spring in 1913 liberated rhythm, sound, and harmony, scandalizing the Parisian audience. Ravel's La Valse, also for the Ballets Russes, was deemed too dark. Schubert's F-minor Fantasy, with its Hungarian dance rhythms, broke from traditional sonata form. The Jussen brothers' piano duo now invites us to a liberating dance with works by Schubert and Mendelssohn.
