Kinderkonzert / Festival Out Of The Box: The Resonance of Time

In the organizer's words:

The composer Henning Sieverts has written a piece that translates the church bells of the Irsee monastery church into an orchestra. This in turn inspired the composer Emmanuel Witzthum to write something for brass quartet - a piece reminiscent of the Jewish Shofar prayer horns. Both are sounds that come from a religious background and have something to say to us.

Why do composers do this? And how does it work - transferring bells to violins and natural horns to trumpets and trombones?

Music educator Martina Oberhauser goes in search of clues with children and their parents and with all those who are young and curious and explores in an interactive concert format what messages are hidden in this special music of "Bells" and "Shevarim".
