JANOSKA: VIRTUOSOS
Janoska Ensemble

  • Janoska Ensemble

Programme

Virtuoso masterpieces for violin and piano are at the heart of this programme. The Janoska Ensemble presents works by Paganini, Kreisler, Liszt, Waxman, and other composers in its own distinctive voice — the Janoska Style.

Technical brilliance, improvisational freedom, and profound musicality merge in an interpretation that is spontaneous, passionate, and marked by the highest virtuosity.

VON DER SEIDENSTRASSE ÜBER VENEDIG NACH KONSTANTINOPEL
Bridges Kammerorchester – The composing orchestra

Participants

  • Bridges Kammerorchester – The composing orchestra

Programme

From the Silk Road via Venice to Constantinople

From Tradition to the Present

The Bridges Chamber Orchestra presents one of its most successful programmes — performed, among others, at the Elbphilharmonie Hamburg — in a new format: in this performative concert, the orchestra plays in full formation without a conductor. This allows the members of the orchestra to interact with one another independently and with a strong sense of individual responsibility. The result is great dynamism, energy and direct communication. At the same time, this communication reflects the centuries-old cultural exchange between East and West. Selected performative elements support both the orchestra’s verbal and non-verbal communication and the audience’s perception of moods and nuances.

The programme consists of arrangements and compositions connected to musical styles that developed along the historical Silk Road. In this region, which geographically stretches from the Mediterranean and Levant through Central Asia to East Asia, Europe exchanged not only a wide range of trade goods, but also knowledge, culture, musical instruments and musical traditions.

From tradition to the present: The concert begins with arrangements of Antonio Vivaldi’s famous La Follia and Hassan Kasaee’s Salam, well known in the Persian-speaking world — works in which musical tradition and region of origin are clearly recognisable. As the concert progresses, the orchestra members’ own compositions — some of them written collectively — become increasingly transcultural. Origin, tradition, present and future merge to create an entirely new sound.
