SPAEMANN & BAKANIC ON OCTOBER 16 AT FARB IN BORKEN
MARIE SPAEMANN & CHRISTIAN BAKANIC: FROM ATMOSPHERIC TIMBRES TO GROOVY BASSLINES
Marie Spaemann on cello and Christian Bakanic on accordion constantly explore the possibilities of their instruments anew. Through the interplay of their different influences, they succeed in meeting the audience directly and touching them deeply with their music.
One cello, one voice, one accordion. The virtuoso duo from Vienna have a masterful command of their instruments and allow their history to shine through in detail. Marie Spaemann and Christian Bakanic are also particularly good at using different traditions as a springboard for their own ideas in an elegant yet determined way. On the one hand, their individual fusion of styles has wonderfully subtle, chamber music-like traits.
On the other hand, with clear melodies, infectious rhythms and the soul in Spaemann's voice, it offers points of reference for pop fans. Add to this variations of classical modernism, ideas of tango nuevo, European folk and jazz, and the result is an impressively unconventional, poetic sound language.
THE VENUE: FARB FORUM ALTES RATHAUS BORKEN
In summer 2020, after several years of renovation, the FARB Forum Altes Rathaus Borken on the market square in Borken was opened as a cultural venue and town museum. The building ensemble consists of the medieval Church of the Holy Spirit and the Old Town Hall and has been extensively renovated. A permanent multimedia exhibition on the history of the town, modern exhibition rooms, a project room, the printing workshop and a varied cultural program invite visitors to discover and enjoy cultural encounters.
