NDR Bigband / Ensemble Modern / Jonathan Stockhammer / Geir Lysne

Fri, Apr 25, 2025, 20:00
NDR Bigband, Ensemble Modern, Jonathan Stockhammer (Conductor), Geir Lysne (Director)
Frank Zappa had a special position in the popular music of the 20th century because he was inspired and influenced by composers of the contemporary avant-garde. Colin Towns has arranged some of Zappa’s compositions for the NDR Bigband. Under the direction of chief conductor Geir Lysne, the big band presents a programme of these pieces. Musicians from Ensemble Modern, Zappa’s »last band«, will round off the evening under the direction of Jonathan Stockhammer with works that characterised Zappa: Iannis Xenakis’ »Anaktoria«, Anton Webern’s Symphony op. 21, »Octandre« by Edgard Varèse and Karlheinz Stockhausen’s »Gesang der Jünglinge«.

Gastkonzert: Natur und Mensch

Fri, May 16, 2025, 20:00
SWR Vokalensemble, Ensemble Modern, Ustina Dubitsky (Conductor)
Man's relationship with nature is complex: a place of longing, a role model, and a victim. Nørgård uses Rilke's texts to find this connection in sound. Mason composes based on swarm intelligence, mirroring fish and birds' survival strategies. Staud's choir remembers death marches witnessed by willows. Pagh-Paan tells of Korea's exploitation and societal upheaval leading to a "loss of soul".
