With the concert kulturen in bewegung starts in cooperation with different cultural partners the new series Culture X Change, bringing artists from different parts of the world together. They are attempts, workshops, compositions, impressions that inspire, irritate and encourage.
In the case of Marcel and Rami Khalifé and Peter Herbert (contrabass) their longlasting cooperation can be seen as a model for musical forms of mutual influence. This concert focuses on the cooperation and the mutual respect for each other. The social and political role, which Khalifé has been taking for years in his home country Lebanon, has been incorporated into the composition.
Marcel Khalifé is a recognized musical personality in Lebanon, in the Arab World. As an UNESCO Ambassador for Peace he criticizes the ongoing fights in his region. The social and political position Khalifé has voiced in Lebanon over the years cannot be overheard.
Peter Herbert is a congenial partner for Khalifé. He is also on a continuous journey between cultures and musical styles. His working radius comprises jazz, classical music, improvised and new music, classical arabic music, commissioned orchestra- and chamber music compositions as well as avant-garde theater and multimedia compositions..
In the first half of the concert the pianist Rami Khalifé will play the piece “Lost”.
