Only in the dark comes the pain.
In his work Solstices, composed in 2018, Georg Friedrich Haas continues his exploration, begun in the compositions Adolf Wölfli, in vain and Koma - alongside Thomas and Bluthaus, the third opera in the Schwetzingen Trilogy - as well as in his 3rd String Quartet, of the possibilities and diverse facets of making music and being a musician together in the dark. However, darkness is not a momentary absence of light in this 75-minute piece; rather, it becomes the very center of the composition, which is played entirely in complete darkness, offering intense listening experiences as well as sensory adventures. London-based ensemble Riot premiered the piece at Nordic House in Reykjavik in 2019 and is now bringing it to Munich's Volkstheater as part of Ja, Mai, in conjunction with a lecture on the magic of black holes.
