Dortmund Zeitinsel 2024 - Sound Cosmos Beat Furrer
Dortmund Concert Hall, Dortmund
5 October ’24 | 19:30
With Beat Furrer's extensive vocal cycle Akusmata, Klangforum Wien and the vocal ensemble Cantando Admont are premiering a composition specially created for the Konzerthaus Dortmund. Furrer, who is regarded as one of the most important composers of our time, works with literary texts by Pythagoras for this demanding cycle and creates completely new, complex soundscapes as a result.
On the occasion of Furrer's 70th birthday, the Konzerthaus Dortmund is dedicating this year's Zeitinsel to him. The festival was developed in close collaboration with the composer and conductor, and will present his major works and new compositions as well as his outstanding music theatre Begehren.
