With “Hear Us” the vocal ensemble The Present presents a scenic concert in the Weinkirche Kassel. The focus is on the connection of music by the composer Heinrich Schütz with a performative premiere and new compositions by Laura Steenberge.
The concert brings together different musical and performative levels. The works of Heinrich Schütz are placed in a new context with contemporary compositions and an exclusively developed performative premiere. Thus, a program is created that does not view historical vocal music in isolation but instead presents it with new artistic perspectives.
Historical Music Meets Contemporary Performance
The Present dedicates itself in this concert to the interaction between traditional music and new forms of performance. The compositions by Laura Steenberge expand the program with contemporary soundscapes. Together with the performative premiere, a scenic concert format emerges that goes beyond a purely concert performance.
The venue, the Weinkirche Kassel, provides the framework for this special concert experience. The combination of vocal ensemble, early music, new compositions, and performance makes “Hear Us” a date for anyone interested in sophisticated choral music, contemporary music, and innovative concert forms.
