Musiksommer Altensteig: Helle Kapelle

Helle Kapelle treats music as a conversation - between individual and ensemble, between structure and formlessness, between sonic gesture and deep silence. The idioms of jazz are fully absorbed and then set free. Gesänge der Frühe is an invitation to let go: into collective listening, into spontaneous sound processes, into beauty that is always in motion. It is music that takes its time while still arriving exactly where it needs to. Unhurried, intense, surprising.

The ensemble members meet in music that stays open to the moment. Compositions by Moritz von Woellwarth serve as loose coordinates on a map that only reveals itself in the playing: sometimes delicate and transparent, then pulsing, fragmentary, eruptive.
