Description

Dense tree canopies rustle in the wind, silk flowers shine in colourful splendour and leaves float about: in their programme »BlätterWerke« (»LeavesWorks«), the Ensemble #kreuzvier reflects the diversity of nature through works from various musical cultures, brought to life through instrumental and vocal performances and woven together into a cohesive whole. With an unusually broad palette of timbres, instruments and musical styles, Clara Flaksman, Jacques Wery and Johanna Risse invite young and old alike to listen and join in. Through innovative creative ideas, the musicians succeed in captivating the audience in a familiar way and transforming the Festival Salon into a musical green oasis.
