Duplex Piano – The Piano with Two Manuals

Around 1920, the composer Emánuel Moór had the vision of building the piano of the future. His duplex piano with two manuals was born out of the spirit of the late Romantic period and offers even more tonal colours and a greater richness of sound. On an ordinary piano, one touch of the keys causes a hammer to strike the string. With the duplex piano, two hammers can be coupled: one keystroke then produces two tones simultaneously. This doubling of the tones leads to an unimagined fullness of sound in the forte, and to a magical brilliance of sound in the piano. The two manuals allow for differentiated layers of sound.

In this concert, the audience will hear a contemporary work performed for the first time on the duplex piano. The music of the German-American composer Ursula Mamlok (1923-2016) is sensual and colourful. Her work »Rotations« for cello and piano is given a very special intensity by the duplex piano. This work and a piano piece by Emanuel Moór are embedded in the piano quartets of the great masters Dvořák and Brahms. And so tradition and modernity are combined in this concert.

Franziska Hölscher plays the violin. She performs internationally as a soloist and chamber musician, e.g. at the Concertgebouw Amsterdam, the Bozar Brussels, the Vienna Konzerthaus and the Rudolfinum Prague. The principal violist of the NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra, Jan Larsen, can be heard on the viola. David Stromberg, who rediscovered the duplex piano, will play the cello. He endeavours to provide the audience with new, fascinating listening experiences, including as curator of the concerts with the duplex piano. The pianist Florian Uhlig plays the duplex piano. He was honoured with the »Opus Klassik« and the »Deutscher Schallplattenpreis« for his complete recording of Robert Schumann’s piano works.

Echt mein Recht!

The traveling exhibition on self-determination and protection from sexual violence is back in Hamburg. Here, people with learning disabilities learn everything about love, the body, and sexuality—both the positive and the dangerous aspects.

The exhibition offers a lot to see, hear, and try out. Visitors playfully learn about the topics themselves, as well as their own perspectives on them. They also learn to better assess certain situations in the areas of living, work, and leisure.

At all stations, people with disabilities share their experiences. The legal background is also explained at all stations. All texts are written in simple language. The texts can be read aloud using a pen.

Clients of the sponsors will guide you through the exhibition. The exhibition opens on November 5th at 4 p.m. and will be open from then on during the following times:
Mon. – Fri.

10am-1pm

2-5 p.m.

For groups of 6 or more, please register at: EchtmeinRecht2024@mail.de

"REALLY MY RIGHT!" is now being shown for the fourth time in the Hanseatic city. The initiative is being organized by a Hamburg alliance of social institutions consisting of the Evangelische Stiftung Alsterdorf, the Elbe-Werkstätten, Life with Disabilities Hamburg, the Rauhes Haus, and the Sozialkontor.

The concept for "REALLY MY RIGHT!" originated from the PETZE Institute for Violence Prevention. PETZE is committed to raising awareness about sexual violence and sexual abuse through educational programs.

Eine Weihnachtsgeschichte nach Charles Dickens

in a version by Cornelius Henne and Felix Bachmann with music by Dominik Dittrich

With lots of live music!

"Merry Christmas? – Pah, humbug, nonsense!" For Ebenezer Scrooge, human emotions and warmth are a complete waste of time. He is only interested in his business and the wealth he has accumulated, and is also a decidedly unfriendly person. A case for the three spirits of Christmas: On Christmas Eve, they take Scrooge on a journey through time, from the past to the future. They lead him back to his childhood and youth – what a grump he was even then. They show him how happily the people around him celebrate Christmas and how they can forget their worries for a change, and they look with him into his future, which will be sad and bleak if he continues to live so greedily and mercilessly. It would be a laugh if the spirits failed to warm the cold heart of the old miser with this journey. So will Ebenezer Scrooge become a different person and will he celebrate a merry Christmas after all?

For many years, Felix Bachmann and his team have been responsible for the Christmas plays at the St. Pauli Theater. Following "The Jungle Book," "Robin Hood," and most recently "Peter Pan," among others, the program now features another classic of world literature, Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" – not at all dark, but full of humor, colorful imagery, and plenty of live music.

For children ages 5 and up!

With: Julika Frieß, Benjamin Leibbrand, Ilka Mahrholz, Florian Miro, Peter Neutzling, Nabil Pöhls

Director: Felix Bachmann | Stage Design: Anna Myga Kasten | Costume Design: Martina Müller | Musical Director: Florian Miro
