Concert with Raik Harder & Torsten Harder
The KMS Müritz, now 71 years old, has seen many pupils grow up and make music their profession. It is a good tradition for "alumni" to visit their home town and give concerts in "their" music school, so you can now look forward to a concert with Raik Harder (piano) and Torsten Harder (violoncello) in the Jost Reinhold Hall of the district music school.
Torsten Harder studied violoncello at the Hanns Eisler Academy of Music in Berlin. He then worked as a cellist at the Landestheater Mecklenburg in Neustrelitz and at the Städtische Bühnen Münster. He has worked as a freelance composer, instrumentalist and arranger since 1996.
Raik Harder received piano lessons from Edgar Schwarz in Waren (Müritz) and at the "Hanns Eisler" Special School and Academy of Music in Berlin. After teaching at the music school in Waren, he came to the University of Greifswald in 1987. He teaches piano, chamber music and song composition at the Institute for Church Music and Musicology
The title "Reminiscere (Remember)" does not mean, as one might expect, remembering one's own music school days. The concert is dedicated to Annelise Pflugbeil. She was a co-founder of the Greifswald Bach Week, winner of the State Culture Prize and the Bugenhagen Prize and helped shape cultural life in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern for decades. In memory of Annelise Pflugbeil, works by Jochen A. Modeß, Frederik Chopin, Michael Schütz, Torsten Harder and, of course, Johann Sebastian Bach will be performed. Improvisations will complement the compositions in this crossover program with commentary.
Admission is free, donations are requested.
