Avi Avital / CHAARTS Chamber Artists
Bach / Bruce / Haydn – Hamburg International Music Festival
Dewy and glamorous
Gold – for David Bruce, this is the colour of the sound of string instruments with mandolin. Consequently, »Cymbeline«, which the Brit composed for mandolin virtuoso Avi Avital, shines and shimmers in enchantingly bright tones as it traces the course of the sun from morning to evening in three movements. Compositions by Johann Sebastian Bach, Joseph Haydn and Béla Bartók provide a worthy setting for the work, which was only written in 2013: the familiar pieces are presented in arrangements for mandolin and ensemble in a dewy, light-footed sound – and naturally give Avi Avital ample opportunity to amaze the audience with his virtuosity. Traditional music from Avital’s native Israel as well as from Bulgaria and Turkey rounds off the multi-faceted programme with which the likeable star and his fellow musicians envelop the Michel in golden sounds.

Location : Hauptkirche St. Michaelis
St. Michaelis Church is open to everyone as a place for prayer or for various musical and lecture events. Despite its size, the »Michel« is actually like a village church, and represents the spiritual centre of Hamburg’s Neustadt quarter. As the first building constructed in Hamburg after the Reformation, St. Michaelis became the youngest and biggest of the city’s five main churches in 1685.
