The concert at a glance
Description
Two brothers, five friends: Alexei Gerassimez and his musician colleagues set off a fireworks display of sound colours. The percussion virtuoso is always on the lookout for new and unorthodox sound objects. His dynamic percussion piece features the five elements of water, wood, stone, metal, and skin, as materials used for percussion. Simeon ten Holt’s famous minimalist work »Canto Ostinato« is set against this as a meditative oasis of calm.
The concert is organized by Beethovenfest Student Management 2025.
Travel to the concert with a special tram. Details will be published here on the website.
