The first concert that forms part of »Gesualdo four 0 one« thematizes Renaissance and Present-day acoustics. The foundation comprises the first collaboration of the CoroPiccolo Karlsruhe, directed by church music director Christian Markus Raiser, which, together with bach, blech & blues explore polychoral sounds in varying combinations in the ZKM_Foyer’s different galleries.
To mark the 401st birthday of Gesualdo di Venosa, the artist’s work will be embedded, in different contexts, in the works of Gabrieli, Petrassi, Palestrina and Bach. Ludger Brümmer, composer and director of the ZKM | Institute for Music and Acoustics supplements the program with his own Gesualdo paraphrase, and also processes the mix of vocal music and brass instruments.
