The influential Swiss composer Klaus Huber would have been 100 years old on November 30, 2024. To commemorate him, the Basler Madrigalisten and the Collegium Novum Zürich are dedicating a joint concert evening to him. The “Cantiones de Circulo Gyrante,” one of his rarely performed works, will take center stage. With text fragments by Hildegard von Bingen and Heinrich Böll, Huber creates a multi-layered spatial composition for various vocal and instrumental groups that envelops the audience like a cloak.
The works by Kaija Saariaho and Younghi Pagh-Paan, who both studied with Huber, also pursue a spatial approach—each with different tonal and narrative strategies. Both works will be performed for the first time in Switzerland. The audience can expect an impressive sound experience under the direction of Heinz Holliger and Raphael Immoos that presents the complexity of Huber's legacy and the creative development of his students.
Tickets are CHF 40-50 for adults and CHF 30 for students.
