With its visionary impulses the STEGREIF.orchester stands out in the German orchestral landscape. Its new project »#bechange« also takes an artistic and political stance. Maintaining a skilful balance between improvisation and the classical canon, it also campaigns for the dissemination of the United Nations’ seventeen Sustainable Development Goals. The orchestra is premiering its production at the Ludwigsburg Festival. It is arranged around works by Wilhelmine von Bayreuth, incorporating the musical impressions that have emerged from various workshops held in Germany’s southern Länder. With improvisation and movement, and dispensing with sheet music and conductor, the musicians let all the elements of a concert hall flow together in a sustainable symphony of sound.

There will be an introduction by the orchestra in the foyer at 7.15 pm: Artistic director Juri de Marco, the re-composers Tabea Schrenk and Nina Kazourian and Lea Hladka representing the direction will be present.  Moderation will be provided by project director Immanuel de Gilde.

The production is funded by the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media. In cooperation with PODIUM Esslingen.

The event is part of the subscription package »Welt im Wandel« [World in transition].
