1. Kammerkonzert - Take Five

In the organizer's words:

Take Five

Ensemble Trouts:
Silke Avenhaus piano
Lena Neudauer violin
Wen Xiao Zheng Viola
Sebastian Klinger cello
Rick Stotijn double bass

When Ensemble Trouts takes its place on the podium, one thing is clear: the audience is in for a special listening experience. After all, performances from the concert bar are not the five musicians' thing - and their new program also revolves around the number 5: the individual movements of Bach's famous 5th Cello Suite, for example, are divided up among the ensemble's string players, giving each movement a completely unique, new sound. For the - unusual - instrumentation in Rossini's Duetto in D major for cello and double bass, two of the musicians join forces. The piece was written for a London banker - and Rossini transferred the esprit of his rousing operas to chamber music to suit his dining room. Mozart's "Kegelstatt-Trio", which the composer is said to have composed while visiting a bowling alley, also had a sociable feel to it. In full quintet formation, the five "Trouts" also play works by George Onslow, who was apostrophized as the "French Beethoven", mix modern sounds into the program with the "Five Changing Pictures" by contemporary composer Sally Beamish and end the evening with the jazz classic "Take Five" by Dave Brubeck in the unusual 5/4 time signature.
