For their most recent project, the Ichos Vocal Ensemble explores the peace in man, inquiring into the inner prerequisites of a lived peace from an artistic perspective.
The focus of the project centers on the composer, Arvo Pärt. In his music, the interplay of the actors, players and voices is important: it is the interweaving of the voices that creates musical meaning. This theme runs like a thread through Pärt’s music. This music is in permanent communication: with its active participation—whether singing or listening—it encourages the creation of meaningful order through common movement. Is there a force for inner peace here? With this question at center, the entire program emerges. The performance includes rarely or never-before heard works and composers.
The first concert will take place in Pratteln (near Basel) on September 15th followed by another one in Fulda on September 17th.
