–KARLHEIZ STOCKHAUSEN POLES in a version for flute and analogue (Serge) synthesizer
The international project POLES is an hommage to Karlheinz Stockhausen centered around his composition POLES (1969-1970) for two players and multichannel sound diffusion. POLES is a so-called “open score”, music notated with a system invented by Stockhausen which consists of +’s and -’s instead of normal notes and which allows for various instrumentation.Aiming for a historically informed performance Camilla Hoitenga (USA/D) and Taavi Kerikmäe (EST) have made a version for flutes with the rare 1970s Serge modular synthesizer once belonging to composer (and some time copyist for K. Stockhausen) Michael Manion which is combined with current sound diffusion possibilities.

Performers:

Camilla Hoitenga (USA/ GER) flutes (piccolo, C-, alto-, bass-flutes)
Taavi Kerikmäe (EST) SERGE modular synthesizer, piano /inside-piano sounds
Francesco Colasanto (ARG/MEX), Tammo Sumera (EST) sound diffusion

38th PARALLEL
ENSEMBLE with JENNIFER KOH, DAVÓNE TINES, JEAN-BAPTISTE BARRIÈRE, ALEKSI BARRIÈRE

Violinist Jennifer Koh was born into a family of Korean immigrants in the U.S. Her parents were refugees during the Korean War – her mother from North Korea and her father from Seoul. French composer Jean-Baptiste Barrière’s first musical experiences were offered to him by his grandmother’s Korean partner, whom he considered his grandfather, and who disappeared during an attempt to return to North Korea in the 70s. Together, Jennifer Koh, Jean-Baptiste Barrière, and Aleksi Barrière have created The 38th Parallel, a multimedia pansori (a traditional form of staged narrative song created in 17th-century Korea) that explores the impact of war and displacement over three generations though testimonies, music, and visual arts. The 38th Parallel examines individual and familial transformation and how human lives are affected and altered by the experience of cultural uprooting and assimilation.

FLUTE AND PERCUSSION
DUO with NORBERT KRÄMER

2018 New Works by DAVID BOHN, STEFAN HAKENBERG

–Sounds of time with works by , SHIDA Shôko, JOVANKA TRBOJEVIC

–Japanese Gardens with KAIJA SAARIAHO, NAKAMURA Noriko, KANNO Yoshihiro

„Sounds of Time“ – in Japan zirkular statt linear, fließend ineinander übergehende Phrasen anstelle von logisch aufgebauten Abläufen. Klänge, die über uns hinwegfluten wie Wellen am Strand und uns von einer Welt in eine andere mitnehmen. Klänge auch, die zeitlos sind, auf uralte Rituale anspielen, auf Gesänge beim Sumô-Ringkampf, die in die Gegenwart übersetzt und auf westliche Instrumente übertragen werden, auf Bass-Flöte und Piccolo, auf Trommeln Gongs und Triangel. Individuelle und kombinierte Klänge, inspiriert von Vorstellungen animistischer und spiritueller Überlieferungen, vermittelt durch moderne Technologien (Spektralanalyse von Schwingungen) und bereichert durch vokale Äußerungen, mal meditativ, mal erregt.

Die Flötistin Camilla Hoitenga ist eine Musikerin, die sich vielseitig und idealistisch der Neuen Musik verschrieben hat. Zusammen mit dem Schlagzeuger Norbert Krämer, ebenfalls ein Spezialist für Neue Musik und Mitglied verschiedener einschlägig bekannter Ensembles (z.B. anthos, welches sich in erster Linie der Aufführung der Werke von Karlheinz Stockhausen widmet), stellt Camilla Hoitenga im heutigen Konzert Werke japanischer Komponisten vor und kontrastiert sie mit europäischen Stücken.
