AGENDA

A Symphony of a Tree A multimedia live performance composed and performed by Severin Salvenmoser.   What is it like to be a tree? What does a tree feel? What does a tree experience during its growth from seed to crown, from soil to heaven, from birth to death? The answers to these questions are out of reach for the human mind. But maybe the tree’s story can be told in the universal language of music and the natural sounds of a tree’s surroundings. Follow me on this journey through the elements. You will hear a symphony of field recordings of nature’s sounds sampled and synthesized, acoustic instruments recorded and also performed live by me. The sonic experience will be underlined by visuals interacting with the music.   Pre-recorded material performed by: Fame’s Project Orchestra Matangi Quartet   Severin Salvenmoser is a composer and musician who has worked for theatre companies, dance choreographers, and fashion shows. His autonomous project, “A Symphony of a Tree” is a modern take on the symphonic poem. Inspired by all the musical sounds that constantly surround us, he wants to melt them together with instrumental music in a composition and make the symphony of the world audible as he hears it.   www.salvenmoser.com www.instagram.com/severinsalvenmoser

Speaking from the heart “These songs are my way of coping with the world. If you can find even an ounce of relatability within them, then they have served their purpose. That’s all they are meant for.”‘Speaking from the Heart’ is a project about learning to fully accept who you are, without a desire to change. It is the musical expression of the last few years of my life: surviving depression, experiencing the joys of love, losing yourself to someone else, and ultimately finding the courage to live authentically and truly as who you are. It's my innermost feelings, expressed through music.Lukas Lukas Mohl (2000) is a pianist and composer, active in both Germany and the Netherlands, who’s music has been described as close to the heart and evocative, capturing the essence of genuine emotion and personal expression. His desire is not only to create, but to also share his musical endeavors with others. For Lukas, the process of composing is deeply intertwined with significant self-reflection. It is marked by a battle with depression and the search for a fulfilling life- a life worth living. Some notable stages Lukas has shared his music on include Music Meeting Festival, AMPA Jazzronde, Jazz Festival Viersen and Jazz Festival Bamberg where he has collaborated with Jasper Somsen, Jamie Peet, Michael Gustorff, Anna Serierse and Kika Sprangers, among others.
