Concert without intermission
 

When music becomes tangible in the body, when it vibrates and resonates and strikes us right in the heart, that's when they're there: the ‘good vibrations’. Creating this feeling is the mission of the rousing Hamburg ensemble Resonanz – a collective that has been synonymous with very special concert programmes since 1994. At the Casals Forum, the ensemble revels in the emotional depth of George Enescu's string octet and plays around the charming dialogue between violin and viola in Mozart's Sinfonia concertante with soloists Hans Christian Aavik and Tabea Zimmermann. 

In the concert introduction by renowned neuroscientist Prof. Stefan Kölsch, you will learn ‘what music does to you!’

  • Ensemble Resonanz

Programme

Lili Boulanger (1893–1918)

Cello Concerto No. 2 in D major, Hob. VIIb:2

Béla Bartók (1881–1945)
Divertimento for String Orchestra, Sz 113
 
Concert without imtermission

The music of Lili Boulanger has a healing effect, even though (or because?) she herself struggled with chronic illness throughout her life. The highly talented French composer created her great orchestral work D'un soir triste in 1918, shortly before her early death at the age of only 24. Her music opens up perspectives beyond the familiar – far removed from the familiar sound worlds of her often-played male contemporaries. It is music that speaks from a different experience, and that is precisely where its power lies. With Steven Isserlis, the Ensemble Resonanz also performs Haydn's lyrical and delicate Cello Concerto No. 2 in D major and Bartók's energetic Divertimento for string orchestra, inspired by Hungarian folk music.
