Windkanal – New music for recorders and accordion
For the concert project we have chosen an unusual instrument duo: Accordion and recorders. Both instruments introduce new and unusual parameters into contemporary music in the areas of timbre. The press reactions describe the phenomenal playing and the extraordinary concert atmosphere. “Windspiel | Duo für Neue Musik” was founded in 2000 by recorder player Verena Wüsthoff and accordionist Eva Zöllner. Both musicians have made a name for themselves as specialists for contemporary music in the international concert scene and are committed to expanding the repertoire for their instruments and presenting it in new contexts. As the world’s only professional recorder-accordion duo with more than 10 years of stage experience, the two musicians inspire their audiences with lively and authentic interpretations. In cooperation with composers from all over the world, they have initiated numerous new works for this unique instrumentation, which they regularly perform in concert series and festivals worldwide.
