Description

The elemental force of nature and human existence: the festival’s opening concert features atmospheric contemporary music exploring this intricate relationship. Isang Enders on the cello guides us through the sound meditation. With various instrumentalists and the VOX BONA chamber choir, he leads a dialogue in the Bonner Münster.

 

In cooperation with Münsterbasilika St. Martin

With kind support from the Deutscher Musikwettbewerb, a Deutscher Musikrat project
