Marius Ungureanu and Mina Fred

The Romanian composer Myriam Marbe (1931-1997) is one of the most important and formidable composers in the contemporary musical Romanian landscape. Marius Ungureanu, a friend and former student of her, found a similar enthusiastic estimation for Marbe’s music in Mina Luka Fred. It was only appropriate to create a programme for two violas that takes Marbe’s Sonata for 2 violas (Prologo – Aria – Epilogo), which she dedicated to her parents in 1966, as it’s core. The joy they take in playing traditional music from their native countries, which is Romanian and Swedish music, will give the audience a vivid impression of the manifold treasures of its diversity and beauty. 
Fragments from Bach’s Solo Cello suites will complete this exceptional programme.

Since 1999, the Mira Quartet, consisting of four solo players from symphony orchestras in Aarhus, Odense and Aalborg are playing high level chamber music. The four wonderful musicians inspire and complement each other and dive, not only into the classical repertoire but also into all the great pieces written for the crew. Their aim is to communicate their great joy of music making, their enthusiasm and commitment and to turn themselves into a perfect instrument between the music and the audience. At the concert at the Kirsten Kjær's Museum the Quartet will play music by J.S. Bach, Benjamin Britten and Johannes Brahms.

Festival for Coloured Sounds - Part I

Trio LauterLeiseLaute - Xenia Schindler, harp - Matthias Ziegler, flute - Marius Ungureanu, viola

Flute, viola, harp, - the smallest possible orchestra with a huge sound spectrum!
It’s been Claude Debussy who discovered this instrumentation, while writing his "Sonate en Trio" in 1916 and thus giving the world a wonderful piece of music. That was enough to entice Matthias Ziegler, Marius Ungureanu and Xenia Schindler some 18 years ago, to form a trio and look up for more music to play. This time, the members of the trio will start with some solo pieces (Ravel, Cavanna, Felder, Fauré) to afterwards join into some of Debussy’s Préludes, arr. by Claude Lenners for flute, viola and harp. And of course the big trio sonata will be performed as well. With “Contrabasics”, the last part of the first concert belongs to Matthias Ziegler and his amazing flutes.

 

Frid. July 8th at 19.30

Festival for Coloured Sounds - Part II

Trio LauterLeiseLaute - Xenia Schindler, harp - Matthias Ziegler, flute - Marius Ungureanu, viola

The second concert will start with Romanian Folk Dances by Bela Bartok. The Romanian composer Dan Dediu wrote his appealing trio particularly for these musicians. The world premiere in 2001 was played in Luxemburg at the ISCM World Music Days and was received as an equal match to his precursor. Finally, singing and playing his viola, Marius Ungureanu will take us deep into his native country Romania, accompanied by bass flute and harp.
