The Hilliard Ensemble is unique and belongs to the old and the new Music to the best vocal ensembles worldwide. The unmistakable style and the high developed musicality draw the audience with their medieval and Renaissance repertoire. The ensemble also stands out through a desire for new and unusual combinations. The Hilliard Ensemble and the well-known violinist Paul Giger perform here a new composition by Roman Rutishauser. Thus the Hilliard ensemble in the performances of TENEBRAE as a whole sound body situational improvisation. A new concept, probably never before has been realized. Rest and feelings of trust, solitude, but also treason, rebellion and unruly force form the theme of the concert. Long-lasting, harmonic sound images touch upon very basic aspects that touch in the deepest of the heart. The violinist Paul Giger, born in Appenzellerland, traveled at a young age as a street musician through Asia and then completed his music studies the conservatories of Winterthur and Bern. For three years he was the concertmaster of the Symphony Orchestra of St.Gallen, since 1983 he works free-lance. Gigers repertoire includes the violin literature from the baroque to the modern, further focal points form improvisation and own compositions for chorus, orchestra and orchestra Chamber music.
