ins Licht

Tue, May 13, 2025, 20:00
WDR Funkhaus am Wallrafplatz, Klaus-von-Bismarck-Saal
Trio Phanos, Theresa Szorek (Presentation)
Georg Friedrich Haas uses light as a musical instrument, incorporating light effects into his works, such as his third string quartet, performed in darkness. Trio Phanos plays Haas's "Ins Licht," inviting listeners to experience one rendition with closed eyes. Marina Khorkova's new work explores light, while Kaija Saariaho's piano trio "Light and Matter" reflects the changing light in a New York park. Dieter Amman's "après le silence" follows a period of artistic silence. The concert is supported by the Ministry of Culture and Science of NRW and recorded by WDR.

Mittsommer

Sat, May 17, 2025, 17:00
WDR Funkhaus am Wallrafplatz, Klaus-von-Bismarck-Saal
Helsinki Chamber Choir, Ensemble Recherche (Ensemble), Nils Schweckendiek (Conductor)
Light and shadow play a significant role in Scandinavia, with the sun's life-giving warmth eagerly awaited after winter. Malin Bång explores light's speed in "Faces and Moon Splinters," while Bedrossian's "We Met as Sparks" uses light as a musical spark. Slovenian composer Vito Žuraj returns to Cologne in 2025. The program also features choral works by Wennäkoski and Haapanen, new to ACHT BRÜCKEN. Supported by Kunststiftung NRW, the concert will be broadcast on WDR.
