Club atmosphere instead of a classical concert hall: in the "voiceXchange" concert series, singers from the NDR Vokalensemble bring a cappella music to Hamburg clubs and other alternative venues. On October 2, four musicians from NDR Vokalensemble and Elbtonal Percussion will meet twice in Halle 424 in Oberhafen for an unusual exchange of blows.

The four virtuoso percussionists of Elbtonal Percussion have mastered "creative crossover" like no other formation. The ensemble has been touring the world for 25 years. Their collection of instruments also includes everyday objects that have been repurposed. Spontaneity and improvisation are the basis of all music, in every era. The result is a powerful and colorful encounter.

Once again, the program is the result of working together. The motto is: first listen and try it out, then decide. Modern vocal composers such as Whitacre or Mäntyjärvi as well as Handel or William Byrd are tested for their percussive qualities. Vocal colors meet tambourine, tonewoods or marimba. Whatever sound is needed - the right drum is waiting somewhere.
