Music Posts in the music forum
The program in the music forum proves once again how versatile, impressive and attractive music is as a universal language. In May, not only do all music lovers have the opportunity to go to amazing concerts, but also perhaps take their first professional step. On May 10 from 7:30 p.m., the 6th Bochum songwriter competition will give the ten finalists the opportunity to perform at this year’s Bochum Total Festival and Bochum Music Summer. From Bochum to Bochum levels!
The stage in the Great Hall will be the venue for the final performance of the Orchestra Days on May 12 at 6pm. Every year, former members of the youth symphony orchestra of the Bochum Music School and other music enthusiasts meet and form a large symphony orchestra for a few days. In the final concert, the orchestra, conducted by Norbert Koop, presents a challenging program of first class quality. This year’s soloist is the young Bochum violinist Darius Preuß.
Brad Mehldau has been a guest on the stages of the jazz world since the 1990s and is one of the most important musicians in the international jazz world. As a bandleader or co-leader, the American has released more than 40 albums, mostly in the form of a jazz trio (piano, bass, drums). He can be heard as a piano sideman on over 70 other albums. Apart from classical music, Brad Mehldau also likes to explore the breadth of pop music because it can break the formality of jazz: “That’s exactly what makes it interesting to me,” explained the pianist in an interview. “Often I’m just inspired by a character that appears in the guitar part of a pop song, by the way the singer sings, by the chord itself. That makes it something new for me – and hopefully for the audience too.”
He will show his skills on May 18 at 8 pm with the Bochum Symphony Orchestra with the music of Johann Sebastian Bach. The relationship of jazz musicians to Bach’s work may seem unusual at first, but it has a long tradition. The motor pulse, the bass harmony, the modality, the instrument ad libitum, the thematic structure – there is a lot that connects jazz with Bach. Jazz pianist and Bach expert Jacques Loussier once said: “Bach was the world’s first jazz musician.”
One day later, at 6pm, Brad Mehldau invites the audience into his musical world with his own and foreign music from jazz, pop and classical music with a solo evening at the piano. The Times calls him “one of jazz’s fearless makers”.
Zülfü Livaneli’s works enter another cultural and sonic corner of the music world. Recognized as one of Turkey’s most intellectual and versatile artists, Livaneli’s writings, interpretations, scripts and books have shaped the art world. His writings and songs, translated into many languages, have influenced the audience with their deep thoughts and emotional richness.
On May 25 at 8 pm, the Nefes Choir and musicians from the Folkwang University of the Arts will reinterpret the most popular works of the artist. The depth and emotions of Livaneli’s works will be combined with the powerful interpretation of a polyphonic choir led by Enver Yalçın Özdiker. The third performance of the Nefes Choir will once again take the audience on an impressive musical journey.
