This Weimar concert holds double significance.
In the heart of the Weimar region, a special concert series is set to captivate audiences with its innovative approach to music. The "Out of the Ordinary: Improvisations for the Night" series, hosted by Michael von Hintzenstern, will take place at the historic Denstedt Church.
Michael von Hintzenstern, who is not only the organist but also the host and father of the Denstedt Liszt organ, will be joined by an ensemble of talented musicians for these unique concerts. Mihail Cunechi, a renowned accordionist, Matthias von Hintzenstern on violoncello and overtone singing, and Michael von Hintzenstern himself on the organ with wind regulator, will all contribute to the series' distinctive sound.
The Denstedt Church, a landmark in the region, will provide a fitting backdrop for these experimental performances. The wind regulator in Denstedt, a unique feature of the Liszt organ, has been specifically developed for experimental organ music. This innovative device allows the wind supply to be controlled via the speed of the organ motor, adding a layer of complexity and versatility to the organ's sound.
The concerts aim to open new listening horizons and create a platform for various forms of improvised music. The organ concerts in Denstedt will draw tones from the registers and the organ that many are not used to hearing, offering a fresh and unconventional musical experience.
The Ensemble for Intuitive Music (EFIM), founded by Michael von Hintzenstern and his brother 45 years ago, remains open to new experiences. The EFIM ensemble, which has been instrumental in the development of experimental music in the region, will be a key part of the concert series.
The first concert of the series will take place on Friday, July 18, at 10 PM.
