Concert with Maja Bader / Leonhard Dering / Nicholas Isherwood / Marina Khorkova
Boris Filanovsky's Whether from Air is a musical meditation on loss, inspired by Maria Stepanova's acclaimed poem cycle. With a perfect mixture of silence and fervor, static and expression, the Swiss artist duo of soprano Maja Bader and pianist Leonhard Dering gives the piece a lively interpretation.

In the second half of the concert, bass-baritone Nicholas Isherwood and pianist Marina Khorkova range from John Cage's early songs to post-Soviet works, some of which were composed especially for him, by, among others, Artyom Kim (Uzbekistan), Eka Chabashvili (Georgia) and Helena Tulve (Estonia).
The different tonal languages of these works form a diverse universe of vocal techniques and scenic elements, which Nicholas Isherwood brings together in a musical-theatrical manner.
