We think of Christ­mas trees, Christ­mals songs and, of cour­se, a lot of pres­ents when we think of Christ­mas. We are hap­py to get them and exchan­ge them with others. “beschenkt” is all about the over­whel­ming emo­ti­ons around gifts — and that some of the best aren’t the ones wrap­ped in glitter.

Gel­bart doesn’t just bring music to the sta­ge, but pushes open the gate to other worlds. In his com­po­si­ti­on The Por­tal, Final­ly he under­ta­kes a sound expe­ri­ment with influ­en­ces from avant-gar­­de jazz, sound­tracks of ear­ly sci­ence fic­tion films and works of clas­si­cal moder­nism. The Por­tal, Final­ly asks whe­ther first con­ta­ct with ano­t­her uni­ver­se can hap­pen this very evening. The com­po­ser and media artist gathers a 14-pie­ce ensem­ble with instru­ments such as harp, harp­si­chord and elec­tro­nics under a lar­ge tri­ang­le. This is not meant to repre­sent the titu­lar por­tal, but to func­tion as one. Becau­se in view of a poten­ti­al­ly infi­ni­te num­ber of par­al­lel uni­ver­ses, the tran­si­ti­on into one of them is wit­hin the realm of pos­si­bi­li­ty. If ano­t­her world emer­ges at the end of the per­for­mance, the expe­ri­ment will have suc­cee­ded. More…

For their cur­rent pro­gram, the two pas­sio­na­te musi­ci­ans let them­sel­ves be inspi­red by two gre­at sto­­ry-tel­­lers and phil­an­thro­pists. Not only their works, but also their sen­se of humor, ear­nest­ness and their distas­te for being stuck in a pigeon hole is what attracts them to the com­po­ser Mau­rice Ravel and the wri­ter and mathe­ma­ti­ci­an Lewis Car­roll. And they both knew about the impor­t­ance of blur­ring the lines…
