Bridges Kammerorchester. Premiere: Estimate
The Bridges Kammerorchester - The composing orchestra is coming to the Casals Forum Kronberg with its new program Estimate on 7 and 8 March.
The Estimate program takes up the theme of the sun in a variety of ways, ranging from mythological tales from the Persian, Eastern European and Arabic regions to evergreens such as O sole mio by Eduardo di Capua and works that celebrate the lively mood of the beginning of spring. As a special highlight, we will be playing a work by composer Martyna Kosecka, whose music stems from her wide-ranging interest in philosophy, physics and mythology and combines diverse cultural influences. The program also includes compositions and arrangements by orchestra members Johanna-Leonore Dahlhoff, Peter Klohmann, Dennis Merz and Walid Khatba.
The Bridges Kammerorchester will once again be conducted by Bar Avni. She is the winner of the female conductor competition La Maestra 2024 (Paris), former chief conductor of the Bayer Philharmonic Orchestra Leverkusen (2021-2024), scholarship holder of the stARTacademy of Bayer Kultur and youngest prize winner as well as scholarship holder of the International Kurt Masur Institute 2021. As a guest conductor and specialist for symphonic repertoire, contemporary works and numerous world premieres, Bar Avni works with internationally renowned orchestras, including the Orchestre de Paris, the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra, the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra and Ensemble Reflektor.
The Bridges Kammerorchester brings together musicians with their instruments from different regions of the world. The orchestra members are experts in Arabic, Persian and European classical music, jazz, contemporary music, Eastern European folklore and various forms of Central Asian and Latin American music. Based on their diverse personalities, the musicians compose and arrange their pieces themselves. The result is transcultural music.
The concerts are supported by the Crespo Foundation, the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media and the Kulturfonds Frankfurt RheinMain. The world premiere of Martyna Kosecka's composition is made possible with the kind support of Arts Council Norway.
