A group of “Chilling Mammoths” have been traveling through art houses in Europe for some time. Now they are stopping off in Nuremberg for ten days - in an old discotheque at the Kohlenhof. The artist Maya Dunietz has created these special pianos: they can set themselves vibrating and make sounds. For the first time, the mammoths will enter into a dialog with the musicians of the string orchestra Solistenensemble Kaleidoskop. They will play with them and fill the old discotheque with sound. The pianos and string instruments will meet – and influence each other.
Maya Dunietz comes from Israel and is an artist, musician and composer. She works in the fields of music, art, technology and philosophy.
The Solistenensemble Kaleidoskop was founded in Berlin in 2006. It consists only of string instruments and explores new forms of music theater. The musicians often work together with artists from different fields. In recent years, they have been particularly interested in the combination of music and movement.
