Ensemble Proton Bern will perform two concerts at the 3rd edition of the "Winter Music" festival at the Akademie der Künste Berlin.
On the concert evening "The thread is torn", the ensemble performs works by Rolf Riehm, Adriana Hölszky, Annette Schmucki, Sidney Corbett and Thomas Kessler. Schmucki's "brotkunst / 54 stück / farbstifte papier tabak" and Kessler's "My lady soul" will be conducted by Alexander Sinan Binder.
The festival theme "Wankendes Weltbild" (Wavering World View) refers to sensations triggered by a crisis-ridden, rapidly changing present. Today‘s upheaval resembles the world as Nicola Vicentino perceived it in the 16th century, the time of the Copernican Turn. His unusual instrument, the Arciorgano - replicated by Studio 31 in Basel - is at the centre of the Saturday evening. The works, which express "wavering" in music, address microtonality, moods with transcultural and historical references, and the sensation of doubt, pain and disorientation in the face of change.
The concerts are spatially staged in the large exhibition hall, with the audience chaniging position during the concerts and experiencing changing listening qualities.
