A Concert Experience Between Fine Tension and Open Form

This concert does not rely on loud effects but rather on the magic of subtle tones. Claudia Kohl on piano, Andreas Gummersbach on saxophone and bass clarinet, and Reinhold Westerheide on guitar and percussion create a configuration where orchestration and spontaneous reaction meet directly. It is from this that the live atmosphere arises which makes chamber music so intense: a concentrated listening experience, where every motif, every turn, and every breath in the room remains palpable.

Between Moonlight Sonata and Free Pulse

Not only well-known names from music history are at the forefront, but also the friction between original and improvisation. The evening Includes, among others, the first movement from Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata, Schumann's Träumerei, and Bartók's piano piece Sounds of the Night. While the piano carries the compositional line, the two improvising musicians respond to moods, themes, and arcs of tension. This creates a concert that does not feel like a museum concert but rather like a lively dialogue about time, sound, and emotion. ([bielefeld.jetzt](https://www.bielefeld.jetzt/node/2060884))
