Namu Ensemble - Romantik of Colour

In the organizer's words:

Concert with moderation

They were celebrated in their day - today they are almost unknown.

In the 19th and early 20th centuries, it was mainly white male composers who were at the forefront of music history. Many musicians who achieved world fame with their compositions but did not have white skin have been categorically forgotten.

The Namu Ensemble's concert focuses exclusively on composers of color.

Julie Comparini's moderation will shed light on the composers' living conditions. Compositions by Clarence Cameron White (1880-1960), Samuel Coleridge-Taylor (1875-1912), Chiquinha Gonzaga (1847-1935) and Florence Price (1887-1953) will be performed.

Founded in 2020, the Namu Ensemble is a young Bremen-based ensemble that has set itself the goal of giving a stage to underrepresented composers who have not received the attention they deserve for a long time due to their gender or origin. In this concert, the instruments oboe, clarinet, bassoon, horn, violin, viola and cello can be heard in different instrumentations.
