With the biennial festival cresc... Biennale für aktuelle Musik Frankfurt Rhein Main, outstanding cultural institutions in the region join forces: the Ensemble Modern with the International Ensemble Modern Academy and the hr-Sinfonieorchester with the hr-Bigband. The motto of this year's festival is "Swarms". They fascinate with their elegance and synchronicity and are not created by central control, but by local impulses that condense into complex patterns. The music is the resonance chamber of the swarm. It lives from collective organization and individual voice at the same time. When sounds interweave to form dense surfaces or rhythmic structures pulsate like living organisms, the music itself appears as a superorganism. At the same time, we rave about a work, an ensemble, a sound.

At the heart of the Theres song cycle in five episodes is the idea of a "contemporary winter journey": a homage to Franz Schubert and at the same time a new location in the present. Composers from different generations have created new works for this purpose. The texts used interweave historical voices with current reflections and thus span the arc from the Romantic period to the present day. This format between urban space and concert hall stands for movement, for being collectively on the move, for the changing "in-between" of the individual and the group. Soprano: Pia Davila, Tenor: Julian Prégardien, Conductor: Lucie Leguay
