In the organizer's words:
Soundscapes from "white noise" to "heavenly colors"
On 01.12.2024 at 19:30, the Antiphon Orchestra invites you to a unique concert at 34Ost.
The central work will be Olivier Messiaen's "Couleurs de la Cité céleste". Under the direction of conductor Nicolas Kuhn and with piano soloist Eugene Shon, the ensemble, newly founded this year, will also perform compositions by Peter Ablinger, Sarah Nemtsov, Alexander Scriabin and Carl Ruggles, which deal in different ways with the sonority of colors, nature, white noise and rain.
The repertoire of the concert evening thus covers a span of over 100 years, the instrumentation ranges from piano solo to loudspeaker, from brass ensemble to an "orchestra" of raindrops.
The program contrasts contemplative, study-like arrangements with virtuoso, expressive clusters of sound, the sober contemplation of natural phenomena with ecstatic religiosity, as well as installative sound objects by artist Louisa Roßner with instrumental music.
Supported by the Ministry of Culture and Science of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia and the Cultural Office of the State Capital Düsseldorf.
