    Georg Friedrich Haas (*1953), In iij. Noct. (3. Streichquartett, 2001)
    In seinem 3. Streichquartett ("In iij Noct.") setzt Georg Friedrich Haas sich mit den Möglichkeiten des Musizierens im Dunkeln auseinander. Dunkelheit wird hier allerdings nicht als nur vorübergehende Abwesenheit von Licht eingesetzt, sondern sie wird zum eigentlichen Thema des Werks: das gesamte Stück wird in völliger Finsternis gespielt.
    Die Musiker*innen sind um das Publikum herum in den vier Ecken des Raumes verteilt, können weder ihre Noten noch ihre Mitspieler*innen sehen. Einzigartig in Haas’ Œuvre ist die Freiheit, die er im 3. Streichquartett den Aufführenden in der musikalischen Gestaltung und im formalen Ablauf einräumt, weshalb auch die Dauer des Stückes variabel ist und sich erst während der Aufführung entscheidet: sie soll mindestens 35 Minuten betragen, kann aber auch wesentlich länger sein (50 - 60 Minuten).
    Letztlich durch eine Art Anleitung zur Improvisation sind innerhalb einer wohldurchdachten Gesamtdramaturgie viele Details und Entscheidungen den Interpret*innen überlassen, die sich ausschließlich durch den Klang ihrer Musikinstrumente miteinander verständigen, sich gegenseitig zur Gestaltung bestimmter musikalischer Prozesse einladen, diese Einladungen dann entweder annehmen oder aber selbst wiederum zur Gestaltung eines anderen Prozesses einladen ‒ und dabei immer selbst entscheiden, wie weit sie einen gemeinsamen Weg miteinander gehen wollen, bevor sie sich wieder zurückziehen.
    Dies verspricht ein intensives und seltenes Konzerterlebnis, ganz dem Klingenden, den Wellen des Schalls überlassen, die eine meditative Welt eröffnen. Bei keiner der zahlreichen Aufführungen durch das Kairos Quartett kam es ‒ trotz Dunkelheit ‒ zu Panik.

    Workshop at the Music Academy
    The Studio for Contemporary Music at the Academy of Music in Ljubljana presents a
    Workshop on
    1) Intonation in contemporary music, with examples by Haas and Ferneyhough
    2) Notation and extended playing techniques in contemporary music, with examples by Lachenmann, Cage and others
    with Simone Heilgendorff (VIola) and Claudius von Wrochem (Cello) of the Kairos Quartet
    The Berlin-based Kairos string quartet performs landmark compositions written after 1950 and pioneering music of today. They have worked closely with many of today’s leading composers, including Haas, Lachenmann, Ferneyhough, Steen-Andersen and performed at most major European new music festivals. They are especially noted for their close relationship with Haas, one of today’s leading composers.
    The workshops are intended for composers and string players, as well as anyone interested in extended string instrument techniques commonly found in contemporary music. Students wishing to actively participate may do so free of charge and should contact Asst. Steven Loy (Steven [dot] Loy [at] ag [dot] uni-lj [dot] si) by 5 PM Friday, May 25, 2018.

    Kairos Quartet Recital

    with senior high school students from the music gymnasium C. Ph. E. Bach, Berlin, tutor: Dr. Jens Renger

    Marina Khorkova (*1981)  •  String Quartet No. 2 with Toy Piano–tape [2016] <WP>

    Simon Steen-Andersen (*1976)  •  Study #2 für Streichinstrumente und Whammy-Pedal [2011]
    Giacinto Maria Scelsi     (1905-1988)  •  3rd String Quartet [1963]

    ZOOM IN and ZOOM OUT are twin programmes; ZOOM OUT took already place on May 25 as part of the cultural programme accompanying the Deutsche Evangelische Kirchentag 2017.

    ZOOM IN entices the listener to delve into the private and intimate aspects of sound. We will begin our recital with the Concerto Grosso Version of Vertical written for the Kairos Quartet by the Slovenian composer Larisa Vrhunc, supported by performers of the music gymnasium. Thus the quartet sound is being magnified. On goes the audio guide through aleatoric and every-day sounds compiled for this rendition at the start of the concert by the quartet members, leads over to Netti's unique Cello–Rap accompanying Alberto Giacometti's pre-recorded voice. Steen-Andersen's Quartet zooms very close to bow-hair and stick at work, characterized by specially prepared bows. Finally, we go to timeless and magical Scelsi. As most of Scelsi's work, his third string quartet is based on improvisations on the ondiola, an early electronic keyed instrument, recorded on tapes and edited, then realized for string quartet by Vieri Tosatti.

    Thanks to the Berlin Marathon you can reach our venue only as a pedestrian, by bike, or by public transport.

    Supported by the initiative neue musik berlin e.V. as part of the Month of Contemporary Music.

Stockhausen's concept piece is just a few lines of text. All we expect from our participants is openness and interest in a common experience.

    György Kurtág (*1926) • from Quartetto per archi op.1
    Julio Estrada (*1943) • Canto mnémico. Fugue in 4 Dimensions [1973/83]

    The idea of this programme is to direct the focus of the audience to the over-all shape of the music presented and to compress all these many details as if one were viewing a map from a distance. So we looked for compositions with distinct "topographies": some were characterized by significant pauses or cuts (Haas, Müller), by a kind of tectonic construction (Cage, sporting three material levels, all in constant and independent motion), or by stressing the individual voice rather than the collective (Cage, Estrada). The audience will experience the concert from within as the musicians are positioned around the audience in all but the last piece of the programme. In combination with the workshop we aim to give everyone the feeling of being an active and integral part of the event as opposed to being a mere listener.

    When we finally sit together as one would expect from a string quartet we will perform a piece which is inspired by a story by Lars Gustafson. It consists of one chord, often camouflages or performed in part, sometimes vanished. Whith glissandos constantly in flow one looses one's firm ground – until one recognizes it in the flow itself: omnis fluit / παντα ρει

    G.F. Haas: String Quartet No. 2

    Haas' string quartet No. 2 is the most-performed piece in the repertory of the Kairos Quartet approaching its 40th performance resp. production. Originally written for the Austrian Hagen Quartet who have since adopted the term "Haas intonation" for anything spectral it quickly became a staple composition for the Kairos Quartet who had already performed the much more demanding First String Quartet of 1997; incidentally, both works have been released with critical acclaim on CD (Edition zeitklang).

    Haas on his Second: "My 2nd string quartet combines tonal, seemingly historicizing sound elements with microtonal shifts, the expansion and compression of time, and partly virtuoso, scintillating sounds. Time and again tradition shines through its fabric – but it is perceived as lost, distant, and dimmed...

    Amidst total darkness, surrounded by a string quartet

    Georg Friedrich Haas (*1953)  •  In iij. Noct. – String Quartet No. 3 [2001]

     

    The Kairos Quartet gave the world premiere of In iij. Noct. at the Klangspuren 2002 and championed this remarkable work ever since, resulting in 20 more performances throughout Europe and in Mexico.

    Two of them also coached student string quartets for performances at the Hochschule Lucerne; three of Haas' string quartets including In iij. Noct. were performed at the Weingarten Days of New Music 2006.

     

     

     

    In iij. Noct. is performed in Hanover for the first time. It needs the complete absence of light while the string quartet is positionened in the four corners around the audience playing 45 – 60 minutes from memory. It also needs a very quiet and supporting audience, and it needs a hall with acoustical properties that make it possible to always tell from which corner a sound travelled.

    THE BLOCK

    Paintings, Video Art and Music Performance – Concept by Andrea Conrad
    Paintings – Gunnar Conrad
    Musical Concept and Performance – Claudius von Wrochem

    Since 2013 THE BLOCK confronts Kollwitz’ emotions and nightmares which – placed at the crossroads of two world wars – speak to us in surreal imagery of her artistic development up to her larger–than–life sculpture "Trauerndes Elternpaar" (Grieving Parents) which is located in Vladslo / Belgium. In 1914 Kollwitz' son parted from her for the Belgian front to die a little later in Flanders.

    THE BLOCK     consists of nine cycles, each starting from her diaries ... and including workshops with teenagers from the State of Brandenburg.
    This performance at the Käthe-Kollwitz-Museum Berlin is the 4th cycle in preparation of a staged multimedia performance to come.
Andrea Conrad works at places steeped in German and European history. She curates the European project PHYSIS for interdisciplinary art, process oriented and conceptual work in Greece and Italy.
