The Asian premiere of the concert installation 11,000 Strings by Georg Friedrich Haas takes the Ensemble to Hangzhou. The Basketball Hall of the Zhejiang Conservatory of Music will become a space for an immersive sound experience. 50 pianos and Klangforum Wien unleash a microtonal universe that spans finely spun motifs and thunderous roars like a force of nature.

HCMF Hangzhou: Francesco Filidei und Georg Friedrich Haas Konzert Portrait

The highly anticipated North American premiere of Georg Friedrich Haas' monumental concert installation 11,000 Strings brings the ensemble to the city of the composer’s tenure at Columbia University. For six performances, the Drill Hall of the Park Avenue Armory in New York will be transformed into an immersive sonic experience. 50 pianos and Klangforum Wien will envelop listeners in a variety of sonic environments, from chillingly tender melodic motifs to the thunderous roar of a looming weather storm. This unforgettable experience showcases Haas’s focus on the human dimension in his experimentalism while creating a new way of listening.

The next stop of Georg Friedrich Haas' monumental concert installation takes Klangforum Wien to Hanover. Festival director Ingo Metzmacher will be at the helm of the musical direction. Once again, 50 pianos combine to form a single instrument with a gigantic sound that reverberates like a storm from the depths of the universe.

11,000 Strings

DHC Halle, Hanover

A radical listening experience that emerges from the void. Starting with a double or triple piano, the three composers sharpen and challenge the sense of hearing from the very first moment of evolving sound. Between echo and silence, Nono suspends a primordial rhythmic cell of music by the indigenous peoples of Brazil. On the threshold of the inaudible, Andre moves in search of the most intense presence of mystical experience. Haas, in turn, follows a never-ending melody into the depths of a vastly unfolding space.

It all started with a dream: 50 pianos as one instrument. Georg Friedrich Haas has created a unique sound experience that resounds like a natural wind from the depths of the universe. With 11.000 Saiten, Georg Friedrich Haas explores a microtonal space for 50 pianists on just as many pianos and an ensemble.

Kollegienkirche, Salzburg

The new production of the opera "Koma" by Georg Friedrich Haas is the next contemporary work at the Braunschweig State Theater, following "Dead Man Walking", "Das große Heft", "Dog Days", "Hanjo" and "Angels in America", among others, and promises to be another high point in the exploration of new forms of musical theater. Under the musical direction of Alexis Agrafiotis and in a production by artistic director Dagmar Schlingmann, the audience will not sit in the auditorium, but on the stage. The audience capacity in the main hall of the State Theater is therefore limited to 180 per performance. In addition, parts of the performance will take place in total darkness, as intended by the composer.
