duo con moto
Warm string sounds, sparkling virtuosity and innovative interpretations – that unites violinist Anna Göbel and cellist Anna Catharina Nimczik. As Duo con moto they showcase the versitility of their instruments.
Since starting their collaboration in 2017 in Mainz the musicians have been expanding their work far beyond the Rhein-Main region. In the upcoming season the Ensemble will appear among others at the town hall concerts in Bad Karlshafen, at Kammermusiktage Kühlungsborn, at KunstForumEifel and at Kunstwerk Turbinenhaus Naumburg.
In their concerts the instrumentalists broaden their musical conversation into a dialogue with the audience. Here they mix baroque and classical treasures from Bach to Beethoven with extraordinary pieces from the 19th and 20th century and also feature contemporary music. In the course of this they have developed a special collaboration with the composer Violeta Dinescu, whose piece „Lytaniae II“ they premiered in autumn 2022.
Discovering new and rarely played compositions for violin and violoncello is an important intent of the two musicians. In 2021 they devoted themselves particularly to Jewish composers and perform Duos by Erwin Schulhoff, Zikmund Schul, Ruth Schonthal and Kurt Weill as part of the jubilee „1700 Years of Jewish Life in Germany“.
Concert programs
In their programs Anna Göbel and Anna Catharina Nimczik combine popular duo literature with less known works by composers like Schul or Wolf-Ferrari. They like to moderate their concerts to break down the barriers to contemporary music and excite their audience equally for pieces by Bach, Beethoven, Widmann and Dinescu.
