Konzert zur Saisoneröffnung
The orchestral concert as the silent center of a turbulent world: In Daphne Oram's visionary work “Still Point” from 1948, which was lost until 2016, the sound of an orchestra is processed electronically live for the first time. It is based on the then 23-year-old's experiences as a radio technician under the glass dome of London's Royal Albert Hall during the bombing raids of the Second World War. It is thanks to the young British-Persian composer and turntable artist Shiva Feshareki that Oram's work was premiered. On this evening, the Konzerthausorchester conducted by Titus Engel overrides our sense of space and time. Together with Shiva Feshareki and the Vocalconsort Berlin, the musicians overcome the acoustic limits of their instruments and illuminate the Great Hall of the Konzerthaus with new sounds. With overtone singing, organ improvisation, double orchestra, treated instrumental recordings and live electronics.
