Opening concert - Bieri, Bonnici, Bota, Hjelm

The opening concert of the 58th Thun Castle Concerts on June 5, 2025 will bring an exceptional quartet to the Knights' Hall at Thun Castle. Reto Bieri on various clarinets, the English folk singer Emma Bonnici, the Romanian violist Sascha Bota and the Swedish double bassist Jordi Carrasco Hjelm have collected music from around the world and developed a fascinating program. Their interplay combines folk songs, chamber music from Bach to Kancheli and free improvisations, always characterized by intimacy and mutual trust. The quartet takes its audience on a journey through different musical cultures and stories shaped by the musicians' unique experiences. The works tell of the beauty and wildness of nature, of the mountains and the secrets of the moon, of the sound of rain and the deep feelings of humanity - themes that come to life again and again when interpreted with the ensemble's special instrumentation.
