StimmGold Vokalensemble & Duo Fallwander
Biography StimmGold Vokalensemble & Duo Fallwander
Vokalensemble StimmGold
was founded in early 2014 by students at Regensburg’s University of Catholic Church Music and Music Pedagogy, as well as the Faculty of Music Pedagogy at the University of Regensburg. The six classically trained singers making up the group all have many years of ensemble and choral experience and share a common passion for performing challenging works. They focus above all on German vocal music from the Romantic Era as well as a capella literature from more recent times. They have given highly effective premieres of contemporary works and modern arrangements, performing them with great expressive force and harmonic transparency. After having commissioned a number of composers (including Rihards Dubra, Bernhard Hofmann and others) in recent years, StimmGold decided in 2018 to start their own international competition for new compositions.
Duo Fallwander
In the duo project Fallwander, composer Theresa Zaremba and violinist Teresa Allgaier create artistic freedom for themselves. They develop abstract contexts and song forms in interaction with their instruments, always remaining chamber-music minded. The result is an aesthetic on the edge of pop, moving in acoustic and electronic sound worlds. At once subtle and abrasive, aloof and emotional. Their first program documents the duo's development in the pursuit of authenticity in person and music: "Their introversion seems raw, the intimate facets abysmal. In search of authenticity she stands there. Warm sounds redeem her from the barrenness of the north and give her a voice."
