SUMMARY:Toy Piano Festival Hamburg
DESCRIPTION:\nServe! Backhand! Counterattack! Forehand! Topspin! Block! Smash!\n\n\nMargaret Leng Tan! Moritz Eggert! Frederike Möller! Karlheinz Essl! Mats O Hansson! Jana de Troyer! Phyllis Chen!\n21 & 22.11.2025 – 8 PM\nresonanzraum\nTickets on Eventbrite \nFasten your seatbelts and hold on tight! The Toy Piano Weekend 2025 is stepping up the pace: not only with a virtual ping-pong match with sensors and invisible players\, but also with two quartets for toy pianos and blenders\, as well as music boxes with perforated tape\, iPhone cooling fans and talking instrumentalists. \n \nBut don’t worry: before anyone gets dizzy from all that wild rotation\, infinitely delicate\, gentle sounds of straws\, supermarket receipts and rustling paper bags will provide enough calm and relaxation. \nBut that’s not all: with toy piano legend Margaret Leng Tan from New York and creative powerhouse Moritz Eggert from Munich\, the Toy Piano Weekend this time can boast two icons of new music as guest performers. Frederike Möller\, founder of the Toy Piano Festival Düsseldorf\, will guide the program as presenter and performer\, and with Karlheinz Essl\, Mats O Hansson and Huihui Cheng\, several composers long associated with the festival will once again contribute premieres. \nAnother significant part of the program will be contributed by Sascha Lino Lemke with ID…a\, a large-scale epic about the life of Ida Dehmel\, who 99 years ago founded GEDOK in Hamburg as a representative body for women artists of all kinds\, and who was later driven to suicide by the National Socialists. The numerous choreographic elements of the work will be staged under the direction of award-winning director and Ida Dehmel specialist Birgit Kajtna. \n \nAs always\, young composers will also be featured\, including Jana de Troyer\, Kiloh Lee\, Niko Yin and 11-year-old Anastasha Suchin. And last but not least\, everything will turn into a dazzling birthday party\, as the festival also celebrates Margaret Leng Tan’s 80th and Moritz Eggert’s 60th birthdays. \nSo raise the curtain for flying ball relays\, the most unusual settings and instrumentations\, and not least two true legends of the international piano and toy piano scene: Serve! Counter! Smash! The Toy Piano Weekend 2025 surpasses itself. \n  \n\nDay I: 21.11.2025 – 8:00 PM Concert\n\nIntroduction: Margaret Leng Tan in conversation with Frederike Möller: Toy Piano Icon! \nFrederike Möller ‘Walzer doppelt’ (2020) for toy pianos\, water and samples \nMats O Hansson WP for Non-Piano Ensemble with 4 mixers \nErik Griswold ‘Dragon Ladies Don’t Cry’ (selections)\n– Secret Room\n– Dragon Lady Calling\n– El Chapo\n– One\nfor toy piano and toys \nAnastasha Suchin ‘Rosie’.
