Music by composers from the former GDR
The Palace of the Republic is present in the Humboldt Forum. And it is not the only reminder of the cultural and art scene of the former GDR. Four composers, contemporary witnesses whose music was performed in this building and other GDR concert halls around 1980 – or not for a variety of reasons – form the programme of the micro-concert in February. Two members of the Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin, which once gave regular concerts in the Palast der Republik, will present original GDR music – in sound and in conversation.
Siegfried Thiele (geb. 1934)
„Zwei Inventionen für Oboe solo“ (1976)
Georg Katzer (1935 – 2019)
„An einen abwesenden Freund“ für Violoncello solo (1985)
Friedrich Goldmann (1941 – 2009)
„Solo für Oboe“ (1972)
Reiner Bredemeyer (1929 – 1995)
„Solo 1“ (1973)
Moderation: Steffen Georgi
Gudrun Vogler has been an oboist and English horn player with the Berlin Radio Symphony Orchestra since 2002.
From 1988 to 1992, she served as principal oboist at the National Theater in Weimar.
As a two-time prizewinner of the ARD Competition in the chamber music category with the wind quintet “Kammervereinigung Berlin,” she recorded CDs with renowned labels, performed extensively throughout Germany, and later toured internationally.
From 1992 to 2019, she was a member of the specialized contemporary music ensemble “KNM Berlin,” with which she performed in cities such as Buenos Aires, Tokyo, and Taipei. She embraced her role with curiosity and enthusiasm as an instrumentalist, performer, and creative, vibrant interpreter.
Since 2015, she has also been involved in the RSB’s music education outreach. As a music ambassador in classrooms, she shares her passion for classical music with young people in schools. She has collaborated with various teams to develop concepts for children’s and youth concerts.
In addition to her concert chamber music activities in various ensembles and genres, she has been a successful and regular member of the soloist formation “Date for Three” since 2016.
Ringela Riemke, deputy principal cellist of the Berlin Radio Symphony Orchestra since 1990, studied at the University of Music and Theatre “Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy” in Leipzig under Wolfgang Weber.
From 1991 to 2017, she was a member of KNM Berlin (Kammerensemble Neue Musik Berlin), performing numerous concerts both domestically and internationally at renowned venues such as the Cité de la Musique, Wiener Konzerthaus, Berlin Philharmonic, Gewandhaus, Carnegie Hall, and the Papal Palace in Avignon. Her final tour with the ensemble took her to the Taipei Concert Hall in Asia.
Two of the chamber music CDs featuring works by Beat Furrer, recorded with KNM Berlin, received the German Record Critics’ Award.
Ringela Riemke also serves as a mentor for the Orchestra Academy of the Berlin Radio Symphony Orchestra.
The micro-concerts are part of a series of concerts in which musicians from the RSB enter into a dialog with the location and the exhibitions. The Humboldt Forum and the Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin are jointly organizing the micro-concerts as part of the 100th anniversary of the RSB.
