FEDERSPIEL 'Wir und jetzt'

We. We begins with two. A family, a band. A nation and the entire planet. For the musicians of Federspiel, however, we is more than a simple count. We encompasses the knowledge and ideas of all generations before us. We here and now are only the youngest in an endless series of annual rings, each of which has its own story to tell. And that brings us to the now. For the seven musicians, this means the right approach, the right timing and the magic of the moment in every performance. Because this narrow strip between the past and the future is the only leeway we have left. Us as artists, as people, as humanity. We are only in the now. Only in the now can we act, move things and people. These ideas have inspired Federspiel to create their new programme: Wir und Jetzt (We and Now) sets the big questions of our time to music. It is an appeal to tackle the pressing problems of our planet together and right now. But Wir und Jetzt also promises to use music to pause time during the concert and to connect with the audience in a way that touches everyone and, ideally, changes them.
