Mit doppeltem Boden - Mikrokonzert #9 des Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchesters Berlin. Kammermusik aus der DDR

In the organizer's words:

Since the 100th anniversary season of the Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin, chamber music ensembles of the RSB have been performing at the Humboldt Forum. The musicians return to the historic location where the RSB has performed several times in the Palace of the Republic in the past. Inspired by the collections and exhibitions, micro-concerts will be performed in changing line-ups.

The Palace of the Republic is present in the Humboldt Forum. And it is not the only thing that bears witness to the cultural and art scene of the former GDR. Four composers, contemporary witnesses whose music was performed in this building and other GDR concert halls around 1980 - or not for a variety of reasons - form the program of the micro-concert in February.

Two members of the Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin, which once gave regular concerts in the Palast der Republik, will present original GDR music - in sound and in conversation.

"Two inventions for oboe solo" (1976)
