FANTASY – 4TH PHILHARMONIC CONCERT
Participation in the presentation of the City of Heidelberg's Women Artists Award to Sarah Nemtsov
Heidelberg Congress Center
- SCHOLA HEIDELBERG
Leitung: Walter Nußbaum
The 2025 Heidelberg Women Artists’ Prize has been awarded to composer Sarah Nemtsov. In her unique and distinctive musical language, she blends diverse influences ranging from Renaissance and Baroque music to jazz, rock, and electronic music.
As part of the 4th Philharmonic Concert and the award ceremony, the world premiere of “Schatten zu” will be performed – a composition for a six-part a cappella choir, sung by SCHOLA HEIDELBERG.
The text is based on the poem of the same name by Heidelberg poet Rainer René Mueller.
"Schatten zu," as well as the work "Tikkun" (2021) – the final part of the tetralogy "Tzimtzum" (2020–23) – are contributions to the 3rd Biennial for New Music of the Rhine-Neckar Metropolitan Region as part of the festival project "Hören mit Helmholtz," which refers to the scientist Hermann von Helmholtz, who worked in Heidelberg from 1858 to 1870.
