Lucerne Festival Contemporary Orchestra mit Jörg Widmann bei der BR musica viva

"Resonanz" Benefactor Concert of the Ernst von Siemens Music Foundation

Wolfgang Rihm ’s full-length, explosive Tutuguri—an imaginary, monumental Poème dansé of unleashed energy. In the 1930s, Antonin Artaud attended a peyote ceremony of the indigenous Tarahumara tribe in Mexico, which inspired him to write a literary text full of archaic rituals and intoxicating hallucinations. Some 50 years later, this inspired Wolfgang Rihm to conceive of music “in its raw state”—music that was meant to be, and wanted to be, “nothing more than itself, naked.”

To open the 2026/27musica viva season, theTutuguri music comes to Munich. This time, it will be performed by the curious and determined students of theLucerne Festival Contemporary Orchestraunder the direction ofJörg Widmann.
