Modern lyre concert

The concert programme offers a captivating journey through centuries of music, spanning from the Baroque era to contemporary soundscapes.

Among the featured works are pieces by Henry Purcell, Claude Debussy, and Frederic Mompou, alongside compositions by contemporary composers such as Lothar Reubke, Alois Künstler, Peter-Michael Riehm, and Maria Schüppel. The performance will also be enriched by original works composed and performed by musician Wolfgang Friebe, who will appear live on stage, as well as refined solo pieces for modern lyre by Dorothy Haller, Martin Tobiassen, Colin Tanser, and John Billing — leading figures in the field of composition for this unique instrument.

To round off the afternoon, evocative melodies from the Irish tradition will resound, offering an experience rich in expressive depth, striking contrasts, and timeless harmonies.
