MKO SONGBOOK

The series ›MKO songbook‹ in cooperation with ›Schwere Reiter‹ is meant to combine three programmatic concepts: First of all born- or Munich based composers are supposed to be re-experienced in the working-space atmosphere of Schwere Reiter. Furthermore these concerts offer a re-encountering with exemplary works of the modern string orchestra repertoire. And eventually the MKO is proud to present compositions that were specifically written for the orchestra and long since entered and enriched the repertoire of other ensembles.

Tickets 20 € / 12 € (reduced)

With Arthur Honegger’s 2nd Symphony from 1941, the MKO performs one of the major works of modern string orchestra literature. The evening will commence with “Hay que caminar soñando” per 2 violini, the last completed work by Luigi Nono. “Bukka”, Arabic for weeping, was the MKO’s first encounter with the Israeli-Palestinian composer Samir Odeh-Tamimi in the 2007/08 political season. For the first time, the MKO will be conducted by the Belarusian Vitali Alekseenok, who has made a name for himself not only as a conductor but also as an author (“The White Days of Minsk”). It is also thanks to him that Valentin SIlvestrov’s “Serenade” for string orchestra from 1978, a rarely heard early work by the Ukrainian composer, will be performed.

Gareth Lubbe

Gareth Lubbe is professor of viola at the Folkwang University of the Arts in Essen, Germany. For several years he was Principal Violist in the Gewandhaus Orchestra of Leipzig under Riccardo Chailly whilst teaching at the Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy Conservatory. He appears as soloist and chamber musician throughout Europe, America, Africa and Asia. As overtone singer, he performs and gives active lectures around the world, translating this phenomenon of multiphonic singing into the possibilities of sound production on one’s own instrument. Born in Johannesburg, South Africa, Gareth received his first musical education on piano and violin at the age of four. Already at a young age, he appeared as soloist and conductor. He also performed at the presidential inauguration of Nelson Mandela in Pretoria in 1994. Upon finishing school, he went on to study in Germany. He nevertheless continues to nurture his love for the mother continent, performing and teaching there on a regular basis.
