Description
We celebrate our basic rights together! On the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the German Basic Law, we invite you to short concert encounters at the Festival Headquarters under the title BASIC:LAW.
Selected musicians from the festival will bring the first 19 articles of our constitution to life under the title BASIC:LAW. In this smallest possible concert format, 1 musician and 1 listener meet for an entertaining musical encounter at eye level, in the spirit of this year’s festival motto »Together«.
BASIC:LAW takes a look at rights, freedoms and duties – both in musical and socio-political terms. Chance decides which article of fundamental rights will form the basis for your personal concert. So who plays, on which instrument and which works remains a surprise: What does the inviolable dignity of man (Article 1) sound like? How polyphonic is the equality of all before the law (Article 3)? Does the foreign sound remind us of the right to asylum (Article 16a)? Our local hosts are looking forward to an inquisitive and open exchange with you.
This project was developed together with Franziska Ritter and Christian Siegmund from 1:1 CONCERTS as part of the Inside Artists project.
The BASIC:LAW encounters will take place in the stage container of the Festival Centre on the square in front of the Kreuzkirche in Bonn. Tickets for the individual 20-minute slots can be booked from 1 September on the BASIC:LAW website or – also spontaneously, if available – at the info counter at the Festival Centre.
Further dates:
Thu 12.9., 11:00–16:40
Sat 14.9., 12:00–15:40
This project was developed as part of the Beethovenfest’s Inside Artists project.
