Margarete Huber »Kartographie« (2022, UA)
Rebecca Saunders »O« (2017)
Travis Just »Quintet 1: Five Voices« (2006/ Version 2022)
Andrea Neumann »Rencontre 5« (2022, UA)
Boris Filanovsky »Mariupol« (2022, UA)
Three world premieres, composed for the individual voices of the Maulwerkers, will be created in close collaboration with the ensemble. Margarete Huber will create a cartography of the Maulwerkers’ vocal potential and catalog the individual sounds. Her composition will thus become a portrait of the group. Andrea Neumann will consider the voice as a whole-body phenomenon. Composed gestures and vocal sounds encounter the electronic feed in ever new interplay. Boris Filanovsky processes the Russian attack on Ukraine; his piece has no text, only phonemes. The world premieres are flanked by two repertoire pieces: Travis Just’s »Quintet« alternates sung notes that create beats with noisy fricative textures. Rebecca Saunders’ »O« uses the monologue of Molly Bloom from James Joyce’s Ulysses; Saunders transfers the linguistic-musical virtuosity of the text into a solo of existential power.
The Maulwerkers are a vocal ensemble, music performers, music theater makers and a collective of composers. They are specialists in the intersections of music and theater, music and language, in the interpenetration of music and space, of sound and silence.
