Description

In his work »Talea«, composer Gérard Grisey first establishes a machine-like order, and then subsequently allows it to run wild with the help of »weeds and wild flowers«. At the »Greatest Hits« festival, Ensemble Resonanz from Hamburg brings this process to life with its usual dynamism. The ensemble’s current Artist in Residence, the adventurous conductor Emilio Pomàrico, who also wielded his baton at the official opening of the Elbphilharmonie Recital Hall in January, directs this concert.

From 1 to 4 November, the »Greatest Hits« festival presents contemporary music at Kampnagel and the Elbphilharmonie. The focus this year is on the composers Gérard Grisey und Harry Partch. The latter was a contemporary of Arnold Schönberg and Aaron Copland; in the desert near San Diego Parch developed his own tuning system with home-made instruments which feature in many of the festival concerts.

Renovation Work in Recital Hall Foyer: The Recital Hall Foyer is currently not accessible owing to renovation work currently being carried out. A cloakroom for guests will be provided on the Plaza in close vicinity to the entrance of the Recital Hall. Some intermission refreshments will also be on offer on the Plaza. We apologise for the inconvenience.
