Connecting European cultures through Beethoven's 9th Symphony
Inspired by Ludwig van Beethoven's 9th Symphony, nicknamed the "European Symphony", Stegreif combines this monumental work with folk songs to allow Europe to unite into a single colourful country.
#free∃roica
Stegreif loves them, the free spirits, revolutionaries and dissenters, and once again devotes itself to the first self-determined, freelance composer in the history of classical music and his 3rd Symphony.
#freebrahms
"Symphony" means to make something sound together - and that is exactly what the 30 young, cross-genre musicians of the Stegreif Orchester do in #freebrahms.
#freemahler - what the earth tells us
A chamber music program of the Stegreif Orchestra
Five compositions based on different melodies related to nature from Gustav Mahler's work as a reflection on the state of our world.
#Improphonie
How can music be created spontaneously and in contact with the audience? Where do improvisation and composition meet? Could even an entire symphony be improvised?
concert series
#freesolo
How do modern forms of leading and following work in the orchestra? #freesolo examines this using the musical genre of the solo concerto and develops a contemporary, collaborative work form.
#bechange
16 workshops - 4 premieres - 1 symphony of change. Four female composers shape a programme that engages with the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals. A symphony of change is created together with people from all 16 German states.
education
#burntolearn
