Georg Schwark reads short prose by Robert Walser (1878 - 1956) and plays pieces for flugelhorn by Rameau, Erroll Garner, Schumann, Schubert and Hermann Anders
Georg Schwark was the solo tuba player of the Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin (RSB) for many years.
Always an inquisitive musician, he has played in a wide variety of musical formations alongside his work in the orchestra, e.g. in a salon orchestra, in the Hannes Zerbe brass band, in Barbara Thalheim's band, with Hans-Eckardt Wenzel and in the "Samtblech" ensemble, which he founded in response to the "faster, higher, further" brass formations.
Georg Schwark is a chamber musician who loves to play and experiment. He began early on to break away from the usual concert forms. In close collaboration with Wenzel, he created a number of musical and scenic productions, such as "TUBAWADUO", "Die Vorfreude des Kesselpaukers auf Schillers Ode an die Freude", "Radio Tubawahn" and others. The production of Maurizo Kagel's "Varieté" was legendary.
Together with his colleague Alexander Voigt, he presented a series of RSB concerts at the Radialsystem in Berlin for many years and worked with Frido Solter from the Deutsches Theater Berlin for several years.
He has spoken the texts of "Peter and the Wolf", "Carnival of the Animals", "The Soldier's Tale" and "The Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra" in RSB concerts.
Georg Schwark now devotes himself to the trumpet's gentle brother, the flugelhorn, and accompanies his readings with short solo pieces for this warm-sounding instrument.
