Welt im Silbersaal – Weltmusik
Sounds from the most diverse countries
Since the renovation of our theatre and its reopening in 2014, we have had one of the most beautiful small cultural stages in the city next to the big house in the form of the Silver Hall. In the future, the new series Welt im Silberaal (World in the Silbersaal) will offer even more and more diverse performances. World music in particular is to be given a permanent home here. In future, sounds and bands from the most diverse countries will be able to be enjoyed here. As curator, presenter and, of course, as a musician himself, we have the internationally successful artist Mulo Francel at our side for this concert series with his band Quadro Nuevo.
Moritz Weiß Klezmer Trio
Wrapping the traditional sound in a new garment: The Moritz Weiß Klezmer Trio continues to spin the story of klezmer and retells it in a wonderfully expanded musical language. Founded in 2015, the virtuosic trio builds bridges from the past to the present and, respectfully bowing to the Jewish musical tradition, allows it to meet musical forms and styles of other eras. In the pieces of the young trio, which range from sophisticatedly structured to energetic, klezmer is interwoven in an artistic and multi-layered way with elements of jazz and classical music, among others. The result is a sound that captures the soul with its melodies, stimulates the imagination and opens the door to a new sphere.
Flying Carpet
Quadro Nuevo meets Cairo Steps
Two renowned bands – the multiple ECHO award-winning ensemble Quadro Nuevo and Cairo Steps, an international Sufi world music ensemble – meet in an exciting mix of classical Arabic music, Tango Oriental, hypnotic grooves, jazz and improvisation. Artists from Cairo and Cologne, Baghdad and Bavaria form a daring world music troupe of thoroughbred musicians. The Flying Carpet project, however, is more than the sum of its individual parts. Meditative sound and powerful unison passages create a lift that is hard to resist. The carpet takes off. Driven between eastern and western winds, it floats through new soundscapes. It carries us away: over the ground fog of trivial everyday problems. Across the borders of cultures and ideologies. Across the trenches of seemingly insoluble conflicts.
