Ruben Mattia Santorsa | Electric Guitar

The solo repertoire of electric guitar is enriching itself everyday. “Cratere”, the solo electric guitar concert, that takes the title from the piece by Lorenzo Troiani, is an overview on the current situation of the electric guitar and focuses on short form and pieces. A concert of solo electric guitar is a travel through thousands of sonorities madexp with just one instrument and the eletricity in one evening.

Because of Covid-19, unfortunately only a limited number of 12 people is allowed. There are only a few places left on the guest list. Registration (strongly recommended under: info@ohrpheo.de). The concert will be broadcasted on Youtube (https://youtu.be/p2Tbrai0yms) as live stream.

We would be happy about donations via PayPal (concert donation via PaPpal).

Margarete Huber soprano & Tomas Bächli piano

On the occasion of Beethoven's 250th birthday, Italian and German songs by Beethoven, a concert aria and selected piano works will be performed. You can also experience excerpts from the conversation books, fragments of his everyday life: when he could no longer hear, Beethoven used conversation books to write and communicate in everyday life. Surprisingly, these books have been preserved!

(The programme was first performed in December 2019, as part of the Beethoven Bei Uns festival)

Antje Thierbach | Oboe
Tobias Krebs | Guitar

The motto of the concert, reed, evokes the most diverse associations. One associates idyll, something songlike, but also campfire romanticism with reed. The widely ramified root system of the plants, the rhizome, on the other hand, evokes completely different associations. On the one hand single shoots grow up to 3 cm a day, on the other hand 6000 year old intact systems have been found. At the beginning of the 1970s, Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari took up the image of these structures as a metaphor and developed the philosophical concept of rhizomatics, thereby providing essential impulses for the theory of science, media philosophy and cultural studies, among others. The program of the evening picks up the manifold possibilities of association of the rhizome in some aspects.

Free admission (donations welcome)
