Aaron Grünwald & Felicia Gulda - FACETTEN

In the organizer's words:

With their program "Facets", multi-percussionist Aaron Grünwald and artist Felicia Gulda discover the diverse faces of nature and mankind. Each facet is assigned a work by contemporary composers such as Xenakis, Eötvös and Aho as well as a visual work.

Aaron Grünwald celebrated his solo debut at the Kulturpalast Dresden in 2024, performed regularly with percussionist Martin Grubinger at the Salzburg Festival and received the Annelie Award at the 2022 Tromp Competition.

Felicia Gulda made her stage design debut at the Podium Festival Esslingen in 2017, where her innovative work explored the connection between music and visual art. Since then, she has presented her work in various exhibitions, including :alpenarte and the Angewandte Festival.
