Conception & artistic direction | Johann Plietzsch
Johann Friedrich Fasch’s ‘Concerto à tre chori’ for wind instruments and drums from the collection of the Amalienbibliothek (Amalien library) – Deutsche Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin – was the starting point for the program planning. The concept of the multi-choired music performance – in the second half of the 18thcentury rather rare with ensembles of this size – was transferred to the other pieces in the programme. Through the arranged interplay of the different musician choirs made up of three trumpets, timpanies, oboes and bassoons each, and positioned within the space, thus emerges a multidimensional musical painting of magnificent sound that not only affects through the various colours of the instruments, but also leads the listener to a truly complete understanding of music, time and space .
