When Voice and Accordion Become a Sound Body
On Sunday, October 11, 2026, the Ensemble Zungenreden invites you to an extraordinary concert between voice, language, and instrumental sound at the cubus kunsthalle Duisburg. Under the title The Poison Enters Through the Eyes, alto and countertenor Thomas Bremser and accordionist Britta Antunes will come together.
A Stage Performance Between Word and Sound
Thomas Bremser brings his trained countertenor voice into a space between classical singing, recitation, and sonic exploration. Britta Antunes contrasts distinct breath movements, rhythmic impulses, and colorful soundscapes on the accordion. This connection creates a concentrated live atmosphere where articulation, resonance, and musical synchronization become immediately perceptible.
Ensemble Zungenreden: Music as a Linguistic Resonance Space
Founded in 2000 by Thomas Bremser and Britta Antunes, the Ensemble Zungenreden combines song programs, free sound design, and scenic elements. The ensemble has performed at venues such as the Cologne Opera, the Wilhelm Lehmbruck Museum, the Ludwig Forum, and the Küppersmühle. Bremser has also worked as an opera soloist and performed under renowned conductors such as Christopher Hogwood, Frieder Bernius, and Howard Arman.
Intimacy Instead of Concert Conventions
In the cubus kunsthalle, art and music meet in a unique interior space. The accordion acts as a breathing resonance body, while the high human voice fluctuates between clarity, fragility, and expressive stage presence. The audience should expect not a typical concert format, but a multi-layered concert experience with precise sound, intense audience atmosphere, and unusual transitions between spoken and sung word.
Conclusion: A Concert for Open Ears
The Poison Enters Through the Eyes promises a musical encounter beyond familiar genre boundaries. Those who want to experience the effect of countertenor, accordion, and contemporary sound language live will find a special resonance space on October 11, 2026, in Duisburg.
