Musik im Museum: Trio Mi.S.S. - „Carmina Burana" von Carl Orff: „... aber völlig anders!"
Trio Mi.S.S. performs excerpts from Carmina Burana by Carl Orff: arranged for vibraphone, accordion, and double bass / with kind permission from Schott Music, Mainz.
Mi.S.S. stands for Michaela and 2 Stephans: Mi.chaela Bauer: accordion, Dr. S.tephan von Clarmann: vibraphone, and S.tephan Glaubitz: double bass. The music speaks for itself. The interpretation of Carmina Burana by Carl Orff has been a crowd puller for listeners in many places. Extracted from the otherwise usual huge music temples, Carl Orff can also be performed in other locations with this small ensemble and spread the inherent magic of Orff's music. The adaptation of the orchestral work was accompanied by the Schott Music publisher and permitted for performance. This concession from the Orff heirs is very unusual in the case of 'Carmina Burana', so we interpret the permission as a knightly accolade for our interpretation. The live experience thrives on exclusivity and gives our concerts a certain elite touch. Trio Mi.S.S. offers the opportunity to experience Orff's Carmina Burana - one of the most famous choral works far and wide - in a completely different way: without choir and without orchestra. You might wonder how, in the formation of a trio, the captivating rhythms, the almost archaic harmonies, and the characteristic melodic language, which always stands out through its simplicity, can be brought to the stage not by 100 musicians, but merely by 3 artists? But the concept works: for the listener, the evening is a recognition of beloved melodies and a constant curious anticipation of how we will interpret the next personal favorite passages of Carmina Burana in our very own mix of classical/jazz/world music.
Michaela Bauer: Accordion
“Fine feeling and the ability to make moods audible shape her interpretations.” She studied under Professor Ivan Koval at the Hochschule für Musik Franz Liszt in Weimar with a focus on classical accordion. Michaela Bauer can be heard in numerous projects and ensembles. She passionately navigates between tango, jazz, and classical music. In 2015, she also met clarinetist Markus Renhart, with whom she founded the "Bavarian Austrian Fine Sound", short BÖF. For Michaela Bauer, the "journey" to the performance and the discoveries that can be made along the way are a great attraction. Just as every performance has its uniqueness for her. She says: “It is wonderful and exciting to experience what music triggers in oneself and in the audience, and it is fulfilling to touch people with music.”
Stephan Glaubitz: Double Bass
He has successfully completed 2 degree programs: a music degree in Linz with a focus on double bass, and a mathematics degree in Munich. Thus, he can regularly be experienced on countless music stages, but also in the classroom in front of his students. Countless pupils give the impression that he loves and lives his lessons with numbers and formulas just as enthusiastically as his music. Stephan Glaubitz has been well-known in the region as a musician for decades. Performances with the Klezmer band "Zwetschgndatschi" are still vividly remembered by many. His long-term participation in the Martina Eisenreich Quartet took him on extensive tours through Germany and abroad. As an absolutely flexible musician, he knows no blinkers, so he is frequently engaged for any genre of music: from world music to jazz, pop, rock, and classical in the orchestra pit.
Dr. Stephan von Clarmann: Doctor and Musician. Or Musician and Doctor?
In his youth in Munich, he posed the question: Should I become a musician or a doctor? This was a long time ago. For 30 years, v. Clarmann has worked as a doctor at the two clinics in Mühldorf and Haag. Anyone who sees and hears how v. Clarmann skillfully whirls around on his vibraphone with his 4 mallets draws the conclusion: v. Clarmann is surely a surgeon (cheirurgia = "working with the hand"). Wrong: he is an internist. What does music give him that medicine cannot offer: “In music, I can improvise. I play what comes to my mind. This would be fatal in medicine. There, I must act according to predefined professional guidelines. Spontaneity would be dangerous for the patient.” Anyone who hears him play cannot believe that v. Clarmann is a musical autodidact. But how is it possible to create such moving music for the listener without regular lessons? “Listening, always actively listening to others and to oneself while making music. And by the way, this is really important to me: listening is not only in music but one of the most important things in life.”…
