SOLO RECITAL THIBAUT GARCIA
Participants
- Thibaut Garcia Guitar
Programme
A musical journey from the Baroque to the 20th century.
French guitarist Thibaut Garcia is one of the outstanding artists of his generation. With subtle expressiveness, technical mastery, and a special poetic quality of sound, he takes the audience on a musical journey — from the Baroque to the 20th century.
In his richly varied programme, Garcia traces an arc from the elegance of French Baroque music and the structural power of Bach to the colourful sound world of Spanish and Latin American music of the 20th century.

VON DER SEIDENSTRASSE ÜBER VENEDIG NACH KONSTANTINOPEL
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.
