BETRIEBS|WERK|SCHAU

In the organizer's words:

Sophisticated concert programs are the result of complex considerations that should take a back seat to the musical experience at the moment of performance. The same applies to the individual compositions of such a program, which hopefully presents itself to the ear as a finished product. The program booklet often tries to anticipate and answer the audience's questions as well as possible.

What hardly plays a role in this tried and tested model are your questions from the moment of listening, your reaction to the music and also your wishes. The idea behind BETRIEBS|WERK|SCHAU, our new concert series in the rehearsal room, is to create a suitable framework for this. For each edition, a composer is invited to present their own chamber music work. Sung and played by the members of our ensembles and moderated by J.Marc Reichow or Ekkehard Windrich, we explore together with you what lies behind the work.

We will delve as deeply as you like: Repeat a single passage or an entire section? Explain the meaning of certain playing or singing techniques? Express incomprehension or criticism? Go ahead, we are the KlangForum and we take our name seriously. This is about personal contact between performers and audience and, en passant, we would also like to show you what the lion's share of our work consists of and where it takes place: not on stage, but here in the rehearsal room. The atmosphere is both attentive and informal.

As an opening ritual, each concert is preceded by a Gregorian chant - part of a magnificent, lively repertoire that is to be (re)discovered, just like contemporary music.

The composer Matthias Leboucher is our guest in this edition.

Matthias Leboucher is a French composer and pianist who currently lives between Salzburg and Vienna. His field of work includes instrumental and electronic music, performance, jazz, installations and media art.
