Ensemble Resonanz / Leila Josefowicz / Claire Chase

• Classical Music

»Man is only completely a man when he plays.« Friedrich Schiller already understood it, and Ensemble Resonanz and Leila Josefowicz provide the proof: they light-footedly dismantle their world, reassemble it and take their audience on a boundless adventure of discovery. The Elbphilharmonie Grand Hall turns into a playground of creativity: from Leo Janáek to Pauline Oliveros, they arrange a diverse musical collage, unhinge Bach, pile up the building blocks of life with Felix Mendelssohn and awaken the homo ludens in the audience. A new work by the playful Dai Fujikura lets the soloists soar like birds in spirals over the musical playing field, while the orchestra also picks up momentum. A concert becomes a thrilling carousel ride!
