Sven Helbig, Deutsches Kammerorchester Berlin
Tres Momentos
"Tres Momentos" describes a section of the infinite spiral, in which disorder and structure, the sacred and the profane, life and death are mutually dependent. Drone sounds connect three composed moments for string orchestra. The composition's lyrical tones contrast with multi-layered noise elements, which ultimately dissolve into a waltz. With this release, Sven Helbig departs from his previously preferred rigorous tonal harmonies, and the electronic components become more prominent. The live recording of the concert with Deutsches Kammerorchester Berlin will appear on the Neue Meister label on August 10, 2018. Colombian puppeteer Omayra Martinez Garzon produced the music video for "El Tercer Momento". With the cover artwork, Sven Helbig quotes the 3,000-year-old Chinese oracle of "I Ching". The trigram stands for the universal, the eternal and for creative power.
Sven Helbig
His debut "Pocket Symphonies" was released on the traditional Deutsche Grammophon label followed by his choral work "I Eat the Sun and Drink the Rain" on the Neue Meister label. Sven Helbig is a co-founder of the Dresden Symphony Orchestra, the first European orchestra devoted solely to the performance of contemporary music. Sven looks back on may years of creative collaboration with the Fauré Quartet, the opera singer René Pape, the conductor Kristjan Järvi, the Pet Shop Boys and the cult rock band Rammstein.Deutsches Kammerorchester Berlin
refl ects the atmosphere of modern-day Berlin under the artistic director and fi rst concertmaster Gabriel Adorján: musicians from both sides of the formerly divided city have joined together with international colleagues to form an ensemble which has a loyal following thanks to its enthusiasm for the new and its commitment to music. The DKO’s repertoire ranges from works of the Baroque through to contemporary compositions, with the classical canon forming the core and contemporary works offering a stimulating contrast. One of the orchestra’s concerns is to attract attention to works at the edge of the traditional concert repertoire spectrum. Conductors such as Markus Poschner, Christian Jost, Michael Helmrath, Philippe Jordan and Simon Halsey have all taken the rostrum to direct the DKO. Internationally renowned guest soloists have included Daniel Hope, Nigel Kennedy, Ben Becker, Lucas und Arthur Jussen, Anna Prohaska, Martin Helmchen, Avi Avital, Maximilian Hornung, Asya Fateyeva, Matthias Kirschnereit, David Orlowsky and Baiba Skride. The orchestra has recorded CDs, among others, for the Deutsche Grammophon label featuring Daniel Hope, Albrecht Mayer, the Radio Choir of Berlin and also with Liv Migdal and Annika Treutler.
