Inner worlds
Violoncello solo
Music that makes the inner life of the human soul audible with its many-voiced facets both in monologues and dialogues, and shows how one can be with many - even all alone.
The compositions of the evening deliberately break open the dimensions of classical cello playing and thus give the unlimited world that we carry within us space to unfold with the voice of the cello.
In Johann Sebastian Bach's Suite No. 5 and Zoltan Kodaly's monumental Solo Sonata, different strings of the instrument are tuned lower, creating a large sound frame that also evokes dark, raw timbres.
Hildegard von Bingen's "O vis eternitatis" is accompanied by the cello itself through the use of a loop station, and in Giovanni Sollima's "Lamentatio" the voice also sings in dialogue with the instrument.

Hildegard von Bingen (1098-1179): O vis eternitatis: Et sic indumena ipsius

"Alle Menschen werden Schwestern"
Duo Anouchka & Katharina Hack, Cello & Piano
Understanding each other without words, listening closely, feeling together - with their program "Alle Menschen werden Schwestern" the duo Anouchka & Katharina Hack traces the bond. It is not only the extraordinary bond between siblings that becomes audible in compositions by the sisters Boulanger, Fanny Hensel and Felix Mendelssohn as well as in the intimate dialogue of joint, spontaneous improvisations by the sister duo. Imagination as a unifying force between all people is also in the focus of this musical search for traces of the question: What brings us together as human beings?

Inseperable
Duo Anouchka & Katharina Hack, Cello & Piano
Intimate friendship, the bond of two sisters, or the unbreakable roots to the homeland - the music of these inseparables still makes us feel their connections deeply in notes and sounds and moves us to the core: Clara Schumann and Johannes Brahms, Nadia and Lili Boulanger and Dmitri Shostakovich, who remained true to his country despite all political difficulties.
