Halperin/Wollny: Wunderkammer (Wonder-Room)
Michael Wollny is a fearless musical adventurer. Someone, who scouts new sounds and takes his audience on a thrilling journey of exploration time and again. Michael Wollny is fascinated by the wonder-rooms (Wunderkammern), the princely curiosity cabinets of the Renaissance and Baroque era in the service of world knowledge: "They should always be a microcosm or a theatre of the world. Many moments are brought together to one integrated whole." In his "wonder-room" Wollny searches for the unheard – in a strange encounter of various keyboard instruments with common historic roots. The always unpredictable improvisations of the "comet of the German jazz scene" (Financial Times) meet the highly experimental harpsichord rhythms of the Israeli Tamar Halperin. The resultant acoustic worlds leave all boundaries between genres far behind and open up unheard of horizons. Somewhere beyond jazz, New Music, pop, minimalism and avant-garde. What has keys and at first glance does not fit together, opens up a kaleidoscope of numerous musical spheres. The harpsichord’s hard quill sound, the reed organ’s warm airy sound and the reliable brilliance of a concert grand. An adventure for mind and emotion.
Programme Arrangements and improvisations from the Baroque era, Romanticism, minimal music and contemporary pop music.
Cast Tamar Halperin harpsichord and reed organ, Michael Wollny piano and kalimba, Theo Bleckmann vocals
