Heiner Goebbels’ Walden

Theatrical nature music like a rustling forest

In his Walden, Goebbels creates nine "environments": nine soundscapes like the rustling forests to which Thoreau retreated. In the work, which lasts over an hour, Ensemble Klang and Solistenensemble Kaleidoskop evoke these soundscapes with specially built instruments such as a steel cello and a chime resonating within steel plates.

"I've been waiting 10 years for such an effective and creative adaptation of my Walden. Ensemble Klang has delivered!" - Heiner Goebbels
