S 9: Concert: Apollo and Mercurius

Wednesday, March 14, 2018, 18:00–19:00, Concert Hall of the University of Arts

Premiere of composition by Thomas Hennig for two pianos

Piano: Thomas Hennig, Jakub Sawicki

The idea of this concert project was born after a concert on the occasion of Nobel Laureate Gerhard Ert’s Birthday in 2014 under the motto “Music meets Science” organized jointly by the Cluster of Excellence “UniCat” and the Collaborative Research Center SFB 910 “Control of Self-Organizing Nonlinear Systems” at TU Berlin. The first movement is entitled “Transformations” and addresses the topic of transformations, metamorphosis and variations of motifs in music itself, the second and the third movement refer to physical (“Magnetic fields”) and chemical (“Catalysis”) phenomena, respectively, which are transformed into musical representations, and are dedicated by the composer to Eckehard Schöll and Gerhard Ertl, respectively.
