The Basel-based Swiss pianist Marianne Schroeder played a complete Beethoven piece for the last time in 1983 and has since concentrated on new music, of which she is still one of the most important interpreters today. World premieres and first performances of pieces by Pauline Oliveros, John Cage, Morton Feldman, Klaus Stockhausen and many more have led her to concert appearances all over the world. For several years now, she has been passionately involved in the Scelsi Festival, an annual get-together in honor of the wondrous Italian composer Giacinto Scelsi, whose student Marianne Schröder was. On the occasion of her 80th birthday, she presents the world premiere of «AN TASTEN_SCHATTEN Eurydike sagt».  This is a musical adaptation of a text by her friend, the Nobel Prize winner for literature Elfriede Jelinek. Birthdays should not be celebrated alone, which is why the US composer and visual artist Charlemagne Palestine, who is considered a pioneer of minimal music in the circle of Terry Riley, Tony Conrad, La Monte Young and others and still inspires music lovers from a wide variety of fields today, will be a special guest of honor.
