Belcea Quartet and Barbara Hannigan push the boundaries of tonality
The Belcea Quartet - a steadfast presence at DE SINGEL for the past 15 years - returns with a groundbreaking programme. Together with the inimitable soprano Barbara Hannigan, they transport you to the edge of tonality… and invite you to listen further.
Mozart opens with daring dissonances that made his contemporaries shudder, yet ultimately resolve into sublime harmony. Webern’s 5 Sätze whisper of an atonal future in refined tonal colours. The highlight is Schönberg’s String Quartet No. 2, a milestone in musical history. The tension builds, the strings push the music to its limits, until the unthinkable happens: a voice breaks through. ‘Ich fühle Luft von anderem Planeten’ [I feel air from other planets], Hannigan sings. A moment of pure transformation: Schönberg leaves tonality behind him, and the music takes a leap into the unknown.
Prepare for an experience in which tradition and innovation challenge one another - with the Belcea Quartet as your trusted guide.
