Programme & Tickets

World-class percussionist Alexej Gerassimez, a longtime collaborator with the Heidelberger Frühling festival, explores the elemental forces of nature in his current project alongside three fellow drummers and his brother Nicolai on piano. His own “Suite of Elements” brings water, wood, stone, metal, and fur to life in succession. Interspersed among these is Simeon ten Holt’s “Canto Ostinato,” one of the most popular works of Dutch minimalist music, serving as a meditation on the eternal cycle of creation and decay. Originally written for an unspecified number of keyboard instruments, this ostinato melody is performed here by four mallet instruments and piano.

Followed by a talk with the artists and Anselm Cybinski in the Festivalzentrum
