Ensemble Almanach / Klassik meets Volksmusik

In the artist's words:

Almanach wants to take the art song back to its roots. Instead of using a piano, the five women present the pieces in an absolutely unique and captivating mix consisting of hammered dulcimer, double bass, accordion, clarinet and vocals. Warm, nutty tones alternate with more transparent sounds, forming an intense and detailed stage picture. The instruments reflect the origins of the music, but also the tradition. The landscapes and people that once inspired the composers to write their songs are brought back to life. A unique blend of town and country, past and present, classical music and immediacy. And of course with soul, with Alma!
