In this concert, three musicians follow the path from solo performance to duo formations to trio, visualising the path from the I to the We. The festival theme, which deals with the question of identity, is reflected in this concept: does the (self-)perception of the musicians change when they see themselves as part of a larger whole? In this concert, three commissioned works by female composers from NRW will be premiered, including two pieces by up-and-coming young talents on the composition scene.
The new work I am addicted by Jiaying He (*1997 in China), who studied piano in Zhejiang and composition at the Folkwang University of the Arts in Essen, was created thanks to funding from the Zonta Club Münster. Diana Ortiz (*1993 in Colombia), also a graduate of the Folkwang University, specialises in electronic and acoustic composition and has been commissioned by the GNM Münster. Dorothée Hahne (*1966 in Bonn) is a composer, producer and publisher. She studied trumpet in Cologne and Düsseldorf and is known for using electronic means in her compositions without any sound synthesis – these are used exclusively for the repetition and variation of natural sounds. Violeta Dinescu (*1953 in Romania) is regarded as a bridge-builder Continue reading »

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!

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
