3rd Philharmonic Concert
MAHLER / MILCH-SHERIFF
Im 3. Philharmonischen Konzert begegnet uns Gustav Mahler in der sängerischen Interpretation durch Annika Schlicht und Benjamin Appl. Ella Milch-Sheriff hat sich von einigen seiner Lieder zu Neukompositionen inspirieren lassen. „Ich muss die richtige Balance finden“, beschreibt sie ihre Arbeit, „zwischen meiner Position als Komponistin im 21. Jahrhundert und den Texten aus Des Knaben Wunderhorn, die aus einer völlig anderen Zeit stammen.“

The philharmonic concerts of the Hamburg State Orchestra become ZeitSpiele and transcend the boundaries of the ordinary: In this concert, Ella Milch-Sheriff's musical interpretation of the texts from Des Knaben Wunderhorn will be heard - as some of Mahler's songs are replaced by new compositions from her hand, inspired by the original. Mahler meets us today as a mirror of the past and at the same time, through Milch-Sheriff, as part of the here and now! This musical game without fear of contact opens up new perspectives on our musical culture, our way of thinking and being, on our way of receiving music.
“On the one hand, I would never impose contemporary music on texts that have nothing to do with our time. On the other hand, it makes no sense to write music that has no connection to our time. So I have to find the right balance between my position as a composer in the 21st century and the texts from Des Knaben Wunderhorn, which come from a completely different time.” ELLA MILCH-SHERIFF
