Micro concert at Humboldt Forum Berlin
Enrico Palascino
“Le voci della Terra” – Streichquartett
The string quartet “Vox terrae” by Enrico Palascino takes its title literally. The diverse voices of the earth and its inhabitants have their say.
The composer describes his approach: “Our earth is first and foremost home to an incredible number of creatures. Together they form a complex system where life has become possible in the most diverse places on earth. The frozen landscapes at the South and North Poles, the force of the oceans, the huge human metropolises are all beauties of the earth in their own right. They are described in the first movement of the quartet. However, nature has different ‘rules of beauty’ than mankind: a leitmotif wanders through the various places and becomes a warning call from nature… The second movement is an attempt to establish a spiritual balance between the wishes of mankind and the needs of nature. The result is a prayer where different textures alternate or search together for an answer.” (Enrico Palascino)

Inspired by the collections and exhibitions, micro-concerts will be played.
