Duo Hübner - Schönfelder PIANO AND CELLO

DUO HÜBNER - SCHÖNFELDER

Film music composer Falk Schönfelder and border-crossing cellist Matthias Hübner combine their respective musical backgrounds to create a sound-intensive dialog that oscillates between joyful lightness and dreamy profundity. The duo uses cello and piano in a modern and diverse way. Despite the classical training of both musicians, both are absolute border crossers on their respective instruments. Their program, all original compositions, moves from great spheres of sound to transcendental moments, while remaining rhythmically captivating, playful and experimental in composition and performance. Both musicians have been performing in various formations and styles for many years, have released many CDs and have won prizes at national and international competitions. Falk Schönfelder has made a name for himself as a composer of film music for various documentary films (e.g. "Weit"), as a music producer of various theater plays and film scores and as a sound engineer for various festivals (e.g. Usedom Music Festival). As a pianist, he has been active for years in many different bands ranging from large rock bands to small chamber music ensembles. In the process, he has developed his own personal sound inherent in his music. Matthias Hübner is a multiple winner of international songwriting contests and plays between 60 and 100 concerts a year. Over the years of intensive concert activity, the artist has created his own sound language, which is oriented towards folk and the energy of rock music and elaborated with a classical concertante compositional ethos. The special feature of his music is the particular use of the cello. With its captivating sound, it is reminiscent of the human voice. "The musician not only makes it sing, but also sob, scream, grunt and cry." "Thrillingly funny and full of life and at the same time moving to tears."
