You will hear:
Johann Sebastian Bach: Brandenburg Concerto Nr. 3, BWV 1048
Alban Berg: Violin Concerto, Solo-Violin: Kolja Blacher
Béla Bartók: Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta, Sz. 106
On Friday evening, works by Alban Berg and Béla Bartók will be performed alongside Johann Sebastian Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto No. 3, presented by the Deutsches Kammerorchester in the Church of St Elisabeth.
Both Alban Berg and Béla Bartók maintained close contacts with numerous members of the Bauhaus and were regular guests at the school. They pioneered modernist trends in music which disregarded musical conventions and called for the equal treatment and “liberation” of all tones. Similar to the field of design at the Bauhaus, these composers questioned the validity of any and all time-honoured certainties in music.
The meticulously structured music of Johann Sebastian Bach stands in stark contrast to these modern compositions. However, Bach was a role model for many members of the Bauhaus and the musical avant-garde which found the formal stringency of Bach’s masterful fugues especially liberating.
Direction: Karl-Heinz Steffens
