Reading Martina Gedeck


As innovative artists the musicians of the Schumann Quartet are constantly trying to find new formats for concerts so as to enrich the musical landscape.  Actress and narrator Martina Gedeck is the ideal partner and they have already worked together with great success.

 

Over the course of her career Martina Gedeck has worked her way into the minds of millions of viewers, acting in crime series such as Tatort, as narrator on several audio books or recently in the series Oktoberfest 1900.  She has received many awards, including two golden cameras as best German actress, and she is always open for new ideas.

 

In the current programme Martina Gedeck takes the audience through the evening with a variety of texts from German lyric poetry.  This literary journey is complemented by masterpieces of Romantic string quartet repertoire.  According to personal sensitivity, the very different pieces can either complement or contrast what is narrated, thus presenting each listener with a very specific individual experience.

 

What occurs on such an evening is a surprise also for the musicians.  “At the latest on stage any kind of imitation disappears, and one is automatically honest towards oneself. Then in the music a communicative link can be created with the audience.”  This communication is always different but never boring!
