A journey with Nora Thiele and The Playfords from the earliest instrumental music of Europe to "hits" of the 16th and 17th centuries, to modern ambient music and improvisation.

The percussionist and multi-instrumentalist Nora Thiele constantly challenges boundaries between styles and eras in her artistic work. Highly virtuosic as a soloist or in ensemble, she consistently succeeds in making continuities and developments within a music history of rhythm palpable. Her internationally acclaimed concert and outreach projects operate on the conviction that old and new music are intimately close to each other in the moment of music-making, as sounding music always takes place in the now.
Together with The Playfords, Nora Thiele draws from the beauty and richness of European early music for her Carte Blanche concert as part of the HEINRICH SCHÜTZ MUSIKFEST 2024, which also inspired Heinrich Schütz back in the day. For over 20 years, delving into music from the Middle Ages, Renaissance, and Early Baroque, as well as the art of historical drum accompaniment, has been a central aspect of her work. This unique program incorporates both scholarly and performance practical insights: Nora Thiele presents favorite pieces strongly influenced by rhythm and dance. In dialogue with The Playfords, she creates a continuum from early Western music through the time of Heinrich Schütz to the present - historically informed and always seeking the developmental and transformative potential of cultural heritage in the present.
