Isabel Mundry – Frau steht vor einem Hintergrund mit Schattentextur

How does the music of our accumulated yesterdays continue to write itself into today? This year a three-part showcase dedicated to the German composer Isabel Mundry positions her music as a dialogue between times. It opens with an evening featuring the Ensemble Musikfabrik and pieces that explore and open up the historical echo chambers of Gregorian chant and the Baroque. Late in the evening, a new virtuoso piece for solo cello by Georg Friedrich Haas will be performed: “Hochwald” was written especially for the exceptional up-and-coming Austrian cellist Valerie Fritz, who will not only play the cello.
