Like harps, lyres are the oldest musical instruments with several strings known from illustrations. While numerous new compositions have been written for the harp, the lyre has not yet played a role in contemporary music. In a first concert, Emily Yabe, together with Martin Tobiassen and Yuri Matsuzaki, will present "Herdecker Eurythmie", composed by György Kurtág in 1979, and in a night concert "Seven Silences" (2021) by Christian Giersch as well as a world premiere by Torsten Reitz.
