Martin Zingsheim & the E-MEX-Ensemble present:
NEW MUSIC AND ANOTHER HORROR
An evening between microtones and chainsaws
Free admission - but at your own risk!
A renowned ensemble with numerous specialists for brand new music, a composer who spills the beans, a cabaret artist with a dark past as a music scholar, and perhaps the most legendary splatter film of all time. The experimental setup for a musically extraordinary, possibly informative, definitely entertaining, and in some ways horrific evening at the Bonn Pantheon is ready.
Join Martin Zingsheim, Christoph Maria Wagner, and the E-MEX-Ensemble on a musical journey to the creepiest, most chilling, and bloodiest compositions on planet Earth. Arnold Schönberg writes threatening film music without even needing a screen. George Crumb conjures up naked horror from a string quartet. Leo Ornstein commits composed suicide, of all things, in an airplane. Finally, Christoph Maria Wagner has a skull roll, and bass-baritone Renatus Mészár captivates in the title role of this musical ghost train. There should be plenty to discuss! Cabaret artist and music lover Martin Zingsheim spices up the evening with cabaret inserts on the topic and a few cheeky questions for the expert Wagner. A warm invitation. If you dare...
