crescendo26: GegenTöne - Counter-Tones
Incredibly virtuosic! Impressive violin literature with our violin students – crescendo
On this evening, our students can demonstrate their potential, dexterity and musicality.
Grażyna Bacewicz: Quartet for Four Violins
Alfred Schnittke: Moz-Art à la Haydn für 2 Geigen
Performed by students of the violin classes of Profs Nora Chastain, Mirijam Contzen, Mark Gothoni, Latica Honda-Rosenberg, MoYi and Stephan Picard.
The hand flies across the fingerboard, the bow strokes, the fingertips pluck two, three, four strings at once, and everything happens so quickly that it is almost impossible to follow with the eye. Musicians, sheet music and instruments enter into an almost rebellious relationship to create music. The fact that rich, harmonious, moving melodies ultimately emerge may sometimes defy all better judgement. But that's how it is – and how happy we are about it!
Support us!
The Berlin Senate has imposed enormous savings targets on public universities. You know that: An excellent musical education consists not only of the many hours of solitary practising and lessons by professors, but also, to a large extent, of performing in front of an audience. This inherent part of the training is also the opportunity for you to attend almost always free concerts at a high level. We don't want to have to cut back on this. By attending our events, you can also show those responsible in politics that music and art are meaningful for every society. And if you can: support us with small or large donations. The donations are used for teaching, tuning, transport, advertising material, for our music festival crescendo - wherever no funds can be spent at the moment. This directly benefits our students and also you as the audience, as this is the only way we can maintain events of this calibre and variety.
Thank you very much!
