Eröffnungskonzert - ECLAT Festival Neue Musik Stuttgart 2026

In the opening concert of ECLAT Festival Neue Musik Stuttgart (from 4 to 8 Feb. 2026 in the Theaterhaus), the Neue Vocalsolisten and Ensemble C Barré invite you to a musical feast with "Songs and Voices" by Italian composer Francesca Verunelli.

Francesca Verunelli: Songs and Voices
for voices, ensemble and electronics

Neue Vocalsolisten
Ensemble C Barré
Conductor: Sébastien Boin
Sound direction: Philippe Boinon

Franz Kafka's "Silence of the Sirens" with all its paradoxes inspired Francesca Verunelli to create her magnificent cycle Songs and Voices. What is the voice in the absence of singing? And what is singing without a voice? Between these impossible extremes, all the nuances of instrumental and vocal expression unfold, always accompanied by an urgent energy that the composer relentlessly controls.
