Tango Fenesta
Themes of farewell, grief, and despair run through this semi-staged concert, leading to a transformation of hope and happiness. The Gürzenich Orchestra ensemble combines string quartet sounds with accordionist Marko Kassl, immersing mezzo-soprano Ursula Hesse von den Steinen's voice in new colors. The program spans a musical cosmos, from Renaissance music to avant-garde Salvatore Sciarrino, baroque opera arias, Billie Eilish, and Astor Piazolla's tango.
