The soprano Irene Kurka and the cellist Burkart Zeller got to know each other during projects with the new music ensemble E-MEX. Their first program was called “Love, Mysticism and Religion.” The works they perform are usually written especially for this distinctive instrumentation, as the existing repertoire is small.

The program includes works by Matthias Drude (UA), Albert Breier (UA), Brigitta
