Ives meets Schönberg: Charles Ives and Arnold Schönberg never met in person, but they knew each other very well. An evening of songs, piano and chamber music as well as original texts by the composers, who were born in different cultural circles in the same year, brings them into dialogue with each other. The montage promises to provide an insight into the thinking of two founders of New Music who, independently of each other, embarked on similar paths and created radically new forms of musical expression. The programme covers a wide range of topics, from purely aesthetic considerations to excursions into light music and open political confessions of faith, which still impress today as evidence of individual reactions to the world wars of the 20th century.

A programme of music and literature, compiled by Stefan Litwin, with songs, instrumental pieces, excerpts from cycles of works and writings, letters and diaries by 

Arnold Schönberg (1874 – 1951)

including songs from the The Book of Hanging Gardens op. 15, ballads, piano pieces, the Ode an Napoleon op. 41, and the Petrarch sonnet (from op. 24)

Charles Ives (1874 – 1954)

among others with Songs from the collection 114 Songs, piano music and compositions for piano quintet

Artists/Collaborators: Stefan Litwin, Michael Rotschopf, Eliot Quartett, Maryana Osipova, Alexander Sachs, Dmitry Hahalin, Michael Preuss, Peyee Chen, Tora Augestad, Holger Falk

The concert will be followed by a get-together in honour of Ulrich Eckhardt, artistic director of the Berliner Festspiele from 1973 to 2000, in the foyer of the Chamber Music Hall on the occasion of his 90th birthday.
