Vocalist

The acclaimed Verona Quartet, among the most distinguished ensembles on the chamber music scene today, makes its return appearance in our series with a program inspired by songs. The Schubert and Mendelssohn string quartets take their inspiration from their own songs “Death and the Maiden” and “Ist es wahr?”. George Walker wrote his “Lyric” for string quartet after his graduation from Oberlin Conservatory (where the Verona Quartet are in residence) based on the lyrical sound of the human voice and spirit. Canadian singer and songwriter Tanya Tagaq uses an ingenious imagination of imparting traditional Inuk throat singing onto the sound of western string instruments.

Cecilian Chamber Series - Verona Quartet

Darke Hall

An open archive as philosophy and practice. Where material and resources are open to all, boundaries become new horizons – and scores become white canvases: Asya Fateyeva and Ensemble Resonanz explore creative ways of transformation with works by Franz Schubert, Johann Sebastian Bach, Luciano Berio and others.

She produces sounds that come from deep within the throat: Inuk Tanya Tagaq. "Kattajaq" is the name of this centuries-old, traditional Inuit throat singing, part of the cultural heritage of her ancestors. The singer grew up in Nunavut, Canada – one of the northernmost populated regions in the world, predominantly inhabited by Inuit people. Her musical breakthrough came spontaneously and unexpectedly as a support act for none other than Björk. Although the world tour also took her to Germany, it didn't end up in Hamburg – something the "Arctic Voices" festival is now delighted to make up for.
