Patricia Kopatchinskaja and Igor Levit Will Focus on Ludwig van Beethoven’s Legacy in the Inaugural Fall Weekend.
Curt, curter, Kurtág: Hungarian composer György Kurtág, who was born in 1926, is the grandmaster of the small form. This trait also applies to his vocal cycle Kafka Fragments, which lasts approximately one hour. Here, Kurtág sets to music 40 diary entries and passages from letters by the writer from Prague; most of them are no longer than a Tweet.
“Their world, comprising pithy language and phrasings, filled with sadness, despair and humor, subtlety, and so much all at the same time, never let go of me,” Kurtág noted. The result is an extremely condensed miniature music drama that gauges emotional boundaries. It also demands an enormous range of expression from the performers: singing, whispering, and speaking, the soprano bares her soul, while the violinist explores the meaning of the texts with a wide spectrum of playing techniques that span lush sounds and articulations that are closer to noise. The individual pieces seem “almost unconnected with each other,” explains Patricia Kopatchinskaja, and yet they are “like a whole life.” She combines Kurtág’s Kafka Fragments with a new composition by the American composer Michael Hersch: three songs based on texts by Anja Utler.

The simple Maihof Church was consecrated in 1941, 10 years later the distinctive, stand-alone tower and in 1960 the parish home. At the beginning of 2013 the parish home, church and parish hall were rebuilt and renewed for the “Der MaiHof” project.
The renovated MaiHof church hall offers 440 seats with concert seating and around 250 with banquet seating.
