Spinet: an experiment on Gesamtkunstwerk - Totalart
  Part I: CONCERT
Contemporary composers and an historical instrument
date Oct. 21st, 2004
6 - 7 pm Discussion: 
Contemporary composers and an historical instrument
  The “spinet” as a member of the family of harpsichords entered the performance stage again in the 1930ties. Contemporary music never really connected to this instrument till now. Why should contemporary music reconnect to historical instruments?
 

Leading through the discussion:  
Christopher McIntyre, The Kitchen - Associate Music Curator

Jens Barnieck (pianist, Germany), Thea Herold (Wordperformer, Germany), Wolf-Dieter Neupert (company for historical instruments, Germany), Georg Nussbaumer (composer, Austria), Katharina Rosenberger (composer, Switzerland), Birgit Ramsauer (artist, Germany, USA)
