Waren (D): New Year’s Eve concert music & reading

31. December 2023
21:00

The year comes to an end with music and readings in St. Georgenkirche Waren (Müritz) on 31 December 2023. This year, Christiane Drese will be playing the chest organ, as the pipes of the large Lütkemüller organ are currently in the restoration workshop of the Dresden organ builder Wegscheider. She is looking forward to her musical guests: Luise Schneeweiß on the violin and Imki Niemeier on the double bass. As a trio, they will play the chorales “Das alte Jahr vergangen ist” and “Wie schön leucht’ uns der Morgenstern” in arrangements by Johann Sebastian Bach and Sigfrid Karg-Elert. Dorothée Hahne will perform the composition “Gestern – Heute – Morgen” and Johann Sebastian Bach’s Pastorella BWV 590, while Pastor Anja Lünert will read cheerful and thought-provoking texts.

The New Year’s Eve concert begins at 9 pm. Admission is free, donations for the restoration of the Lütkemüller organ are requested. Continue reading…

Schöppingen (D): Living Library Schöppingen & Outdoor Parcour

Sunday, 19 November 2023, 12-16 h
Opening of the new library and the outdoor space parcours of the Künstlerdorf Schöppingen

The authors Vera Vorneweg and Grashina Gabelmann will be present to talk about the following projects over coffee and waffles:

The concept of the library of the artists’ village was developed and realised this year by the author Vera Vorneweg. In the successive redesign, global perspectives and multilingualism are taken into account on the one hand, but on the other hand, forms of literature beyond the book format are also taken into consideration. The library, with its character somewhere between an archive and a “living library”, will be continuously enriched with the perspectives of the participants.

Spread across the grounds of the artists’ village, nine signs now provide information about the historical background, developments and programme of the artists’ village. The author Grashina Gabelmann conducted interviews with contemporary witnesses, founders and contributors. Dorothée Hahne’s contribution can be found at station no. 7. Continue reading…

TelePartY @ 1st ERPS Video Competition 2023

Update: Alexander is 1st prize winner in category “recorder paradise” !

In July 2023, an exceptional young emerging artist, 11-year-old Alexander Umundum from Austria, was awarded three first prizes at the ORDA Competition in Amsterdam. He was judged both by the jury as the best in his age group and by the audience as the best of all participants in the competition. He received another award for the special concert programme in which he grandly interpreted the interactive composition “TelePartY” (for solo instrument and 4-channel live electronics) as a contemporary contribution. In the meantime, there is a recording of it and this video is taking part in another online competition in which the most clicks and ratings are decisive. One more reason to like and recommend this video. It is also worth mentioning that everything is recorded live, so no playbacks are used!

Bayreuth (D): Duo Sono Eternity – Millenium Charts

13. June 2023
19:00

The flute and the drum are among the oldest instruments in history and have been closely linked to human culture for thousands of years. But which melodies actually haunted the minds of people from the past? Starting with minstrel dances that a medieval market visitor might have brought home as a catchy tune along with his shopping, Sophie Schambeck and Sebastian Wielandt build bridges to the 21st century with intermittent “charts”. Among others, Flow my tears by John Dowland, one of the best-known songs from Renaissance England, will be heard, as well as baroque dance movements by Bach. The transition to the 21st century will be concluded by Commentari III for recorder and tape and classics of the solo percussion repertoire such as Interzones for vibraphone and tape
