Four Cellos, One Entire Opera Evening
The ensemble projects4cellos consists of Lukas Dihle, Hanno Riehmann, Mathias Beyer, and Markus Jung and has been active since October 2008. The formation is known for its stylistic range: from original works for cello quartet to arrangements and opera literature, jazz, and world music. Particularly, the opera arrangements have shaped the artistic profile of the quartet for years and already garnered attention with the album cellopera.

A Sound Image Between Longing and Energy
The opera melodies on 16 strings create a special tension in the talk concert. The warm, close tone of the cello carries arias, ensembles, and instrumental pieces with great emotional range through the hall. The program promises powerful moments, but also those delicate, floating lines in which longing, pain, and love condense like in a musical close-up. The evening will be moderated by Susanne Bieler, who brings additional depth to the live atmosphere with background information.
