The Pico Union Project

Exceptional violinist Arabella Steinbacher inspired the Luxembourg composer Georges Lentz to write an unearthly and beautiful violin concerto. In it, the sound of the violin spreads out across the Philharmonie like starlight under the sky of the Australian outback, where Lentz composed his piece. In her large orchestral piece Masaot, Olga Neuwirth enters a river of memories and associations: music as both home and foreign. Georges Aperghis instigates a new celebration of orchestral virtuosity with his eighth etude.

For him, composing is a kind of medicine against the violence of life. Georges Aperghis is "an unmistakable voice and an outstanding composer of our time," according to the Ernst von Siemens Music Foundation's tribute. "Selfie in the Dark" is a composition commissioned by the festival, which will be premiered here - and which Aperghis composed in memory of his late wife Edith. In search of the sound of silence, however, Eivind Buene composed "Lessons in Darkness" in the Norwegian winter of 2017, imagining the ensemble as a human community. The program is complemented by a prizewinner of the ACHT BRÜCKEN composition competition.
