Bassist

The points of contact between music and literature are manifold: music is written about, texts are set to music, or they inspire composers to create their own works. Some musicians have written texts themselves or have collaborated in a congenial way with a poet. The Dortmund Philharmonic, in cooperation with the Dortmund City and State Library, are exploring this interplay (and discovering highlights). A chamber ensemble from the orchestra introduces the musical source material, while Dr. Michael Stille and double bassist Frank Kistner pass the literary ball back and forth between them, which then returns to the musicians. The result is an enjoyable blend of reading and concert. The City and State Library, where texts and music are at home, invites you to Studio B.
