On 8 and 9 March 2025, the chamber music project Spielende Insel presents three solo concerts at Kühlhaus Berlin, performed by the outstanding soloists Veriko Tchumburidze, Andrei Ioniță and Catalin Serban.
Each concert has a unique focus, with Bach as the starting point for the first and as an apotheotic performance of the six cello suites in the third concert forming the framework for the festival. In between, music from the 20th and 21st centuries unfolds, while a Schubert sonata acts as a catalyst between these two extremes.
The Solo Experience
The violin solo: The world premiere of the violin sonata by young composer Kaan Bulak is the centrepiece of the violin solo concert and is framed by J.S. Bach's Partita No. 2 in D minor, Nathan Milstein's Doluri and the Paganiniana by Georgian composer Alexi Machavari.
The piano solo concert offers a rarely performed collection of expressive range and the highest virtuosity, coupled with the radiant, sonorous Great D-Major Sonata by Schubert, with all nine Études-tableaux Op.39 by Rachmaninov.
The Cello Solo: The performance of Bach's six cello suites in one evening – a monumental performance that takes both the performer and the audience on a musical journey into the depths.
The solo concert series is accompanied by a visual arts exhibition: meet the artists Katharina Schnitzler and Kristina Weiss, whose work can be associated with sonority in very different ways.
