In the organizer's words:

In escape valse - a danced concert, the ensemble's core idea of "unity in diversity" is brought into focus and expanded to include a new parameter: the collaboration with dancers on stage. Waltz - "the idea of a fantastic vortex that no one can escape" - is what Maurice Ravel's work La Valse, which he composed in 1920 as the "apotheosis of the Viennese waltz", stands for. Based on this work, Stegreif creates a danced concert in escape valse, framed by further recompositions of impressionist works and creates choreographic images of individuals dancing in a frenzy - an escapist spinning in the face of social disruption. From the swelling din, improvising individual voices make themselves heard, utopian sounds and also proclamations of doubt. And yet, despite their apparent incompatibility, music and dance combine to form a kaleidoscopic whole.

In cooperation with the dancer and choreographer Juan Kruz Diaz de Garaio Esnaola, one of the most prominent artists for choreographic work with musicians, a production is created that fuses music and dance, musicians and dancers into a single entity and blurs the boundaries between concert and performance. Stegreif acts as a moving, reacting stage for the dancers, in a space that is constantly reforming. At the same time, the moving orchestra creates a three-dimensional listening experience
