"Tim Tam Tom" - multi-percussion, accordion & clarinet
New music by children and young people in the world premiere concert of the Dresden composer class; with an overture by the young ensemble StreichHölzer of the Chemnitz Municipal Music School
The musicians are Anke Storch (percussion), Susanne Stock (accordion) and Georg Wettin (clarinet).
Venue: Concert hall - Chemnitz Municipal Music School, Gerichtsstr. 1
Participation: free of charge
The family concert "Tim Tam Tom" focuses on the world of percussion instruments in combination with the diverse tonal possibilities of accordion and clarinet. For the first time, the Dresden Composers' Class is collaborating with percussionist Anke Storch and the Stock-Wettin duo (Susanne Stock/accordion & Georg Wettin/clarinet) to present the premiere of the programme in the Capital of Culture Chemnitz. For this attractive and unusual line-up, which also includes the rarely heard double bass clarinet, the eight to 20-year-olds composed their new pieces under the guidance of Silke Fraikin, Johannes Korndörfer, Annette Schlünz and Bernd Schumann and are working on them together with the musicians.
There will be 16 world premieres, including "Partytour" by Manuel Timme (aged 9), "Wie der Waldteufel den Baum hochklettert" by Linda Korndörfer (aged 9) and "Tim Tam Tom" by Cedric Haß (aged 12). Levin Schleif (10 years) dedicated himself to the subject of "Wind and Weather", and Elias Krauße (17 years) composed a piece about his cat Sergeant.
The palette of skin, wood and metal sounds ranges from bongos, darabuka, snare drum, tom-toms and timpani to temple blocks and maracas, cymbals, tam-tam, crotales, tubular bells and singing bowls. But rustling bags and crackling paper as well as self-made sound generators are also used.
The première concert will take place as a moderated family concert. The musicians will guide you through the programme and introduce the composers and their ideas for the pieces in short interviews.
At the beginning of the programme, the young ensemble StreichHölzer from the Chemnitz Municipal Music School will perform under the direction of Andreas Winkler.
In co-operation with Oscar e.V. as part of the KLANGWERK - New Music series
