There are subtle differences in pitches and tonal systems, virtuosity and musical traditions and, of course, in the biographies of the people on, behind and in front of the stage. This year's festival edition of ACHT BRÜCKEN | Musik für Köln takes a look at diverse forms of microtonality.
The view of "subtle differences" not only expands our listening and playing habits, but also questions and breaks them, points out alternatives and thus combines the "new music" of Western European and North American practice in a surprising way with traditional music from a wide variety of cultural areas.
ACHT BRÜCKEN once again presents numerous world premieres, most of which have been commissioned by the festival: 18 brand-new works can be heard, by both well-known and younger composers.
