M♀ZART Chamber Music Festival and opening of the new "Centre for Chamber Music"
With the chamber music festival "M♀ZART", the Hanns Eisler School of Music Berlin opens its new "Centre for Chamber Music". For three days from July 1st to 3rd, the Eisler celebrates chamber music and has selected treasures by rarely performed composers from various eras as well as works by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
"I never thought a woman could write something like that. She knows all the clever tricks of the composer's craft," Camille Saint-Saëns marveled in 1891 about the composer Mel Bonis. What was meant as a compliment at the time makes it clear how little the male-dominated society of that time thought of female composers. So the rich work of women composers is still largely unknown to the public - wrongly so. In order to open the doors to this music, the artistic director Prof. Jonathan Aner and other contributors worked on the sheet music for the festival, sometimes with considerable effort - for works by Cécile Chaminade, Anna Amalia von Sachsen-Weimar, Mel Bonis, Louise Farrenc, Sofia Gubaidulina , Grażyna Bacewicz, Annette Schlünz and others. In addition, demanding chamber music works by Mozart, which surprisingly are far too seldom played at the academy, are a focus of this first edition of the festival.
The Korean and Eisler student Saemi Jeong received a composition commission from the festival. Her work for prepared piano, viola and clarinet and a saxophone quartet by saxophone student Lilly Paddags are premiered. The musicologist Eva Rieger, who became a pioneer with her research work on the role of women in music culture, will give a lecture.
In addition to professors from the university, including Wolfgang Redik, Eva Schönweiß, Wolfram Rieger, Sibylle Mahni, Stephan Forck, Viola Wilmsen and Martin Spangenberg, students from the university play and sing, including Dominika Kościelniak, Julius Asal, Inmo Yang - who has just won the renowned Jean Sibelius Violin Competition 2022 - and Onutė Gražinytė, as well as the Synergia Piano Trio, Trio Orelon, Trio Tempestoso and Elaia Quartet.
Chamber Music Center
"In chamber music, the excellence of solo training is combined with the common ground in ensemble playing," says Prof. Wolfgang Redik, who teaches string chamber music. For several years now, the Hanns Eisler School of Music Berlin has been explicitly promoting chamber music training with professorships in various areas of this genre, and with the new "Centre for Chamber Music" it wants to further develop a decade-long tradition at the university. Many outstanding, internationally successful ensembles have already emerged from the Eisler. With this training, the students - in the Master's or Konzertexamen - receive a broader professional perspective with an extended range of events and performance opportunities.
