ABO 3 – Kammerwunder

13.March | 20:00

Music – feels real

 

Ensemble Recherche creates a cabinet of curiosities with pieces to amaze and doubt. Music between truth and illusion, between fibbing and effectiveness. Li-Ying Wu deals with the manipulative effect of fake news and the question of how we can communicate with each other with understanding. With Stefan Prins, we enter a musical hall of mirrors that promises healing through deliberate self-deception. In his oratorio for Chat GPT, Antonio la Spina lets the algorithm oracle about the future of human creativity. Swantje Lichtenstein’s electronic pieces are based on digital revenants, on deepfakes of real people.

The second part of the concert will feature the Freiburg premiere of ‘Laub’, which Enno Poppe wrote for Recherche and premiered in Cologne in 2024. ‘Laub’ works like the Silent Mail: each bar is a variation of the previous one until a completely different message is communicated at the end. Does this message have anything to do with foliage, or does Poppe’s powerful choice of title tempt us to want to hear the rustling of leaves in the music?

There are enough absurd and alarming events in the world to leave us open-mouthed in amazement. On this evening, it is our ears that we should open in amazement – perhaps there will be a small chamber miracle.
