program

The vocal ensemble OTTO combines Nordic expansiveness, folk song tradition, and contemporary soundscapes for the atmospheric evening “Urziit” (Primordial Time). The earth has always been in flux – but especially rapidly since the emergence of humankind. What can we learn from this “Urziit,” and how do we understand ourselves as part of nature, in the ever-turning wheel of time? Works by Caroline Shaw, Veljo Tormis, Ola Gjeilo, Hildegard von Bingen, and Karin Rehnqvist meet folk melodies and Swiss choral literature – an evening with voices that touch the soul.

In case of bad weather, the concert will take place in the Enge Church, Bürglistrasse 15, 8002 Zurich. Information is available on the day of the concert from 2:00 pm: Serenades in the Park,

Getting there: Tram 7 to Museum Rietberg, no parking available

. Refreshments: The Orangery is open before and during the serenades.

Accessibility: The grounds are wheelchair accessible. If you require assistance on site, please contact us in advance.
