silent green 2

The evening begins with Peter Jakober’s composition for brass and woodwind instruments “little beauty”, which will be performed jointly by The Monochrome Project and amateur musicians after being rehearsed under the direction of the composer. During the concert performance taking place on the long ramp at silent green, the sounds of the piece will accompany and immerse the visitors as they make their way into the Betonhalle, where the concert of The Monochrome Project follows. This ensemble – founded in 2015 by Marco Blaauw to explore the range of the trumpet sound and the diverse instrument’s playing techniques – opens its concert with “Fever” by Claudia Molitor. Her composition “is an answer to the noises we are surrounded by in the early 21st century, the noises that are a sonic marker of our destructive human ways. A call for hope […], to find a way to live with our environment, not against it.” The evening closes with Wadada Leo Smith’s “The Flight of the Eagle: The Sonic Memorial of Jiddu Krishnamurti”. The composer drew inspiration for his work from the Indian thinker, expressing his desire to reshape the world “into something more beautiful and meaningful for all people to be a part of.”
