MUSIC IS THE CURE

LA NINFEA & MIRKO LUDWIG

A musical medicine cabinet? A concert that makes you healthy and immortal?! In this exciting concert, you can expect a thrilling programme that plumbs the darkest depths of musical healing and the brightest glow of praise for recovery with works from Marais to Purcell. The ensemble has artfully arranged works around illness, recovery and remedies: Barley oil, sundew, remedies for spider bites or a musical gallstone operation find their way onto the podium in compositions by Purcell, Kircher, Lully, Charpentier and Marais. Let us invite you on an exciting, instructive and fascinating journey through “musical medicine and pharmacology”.

„The members of La Ninfea are people who not only search for notes with a sense of research, but also implement them. They really make use of all the freedom for creativity that baroque performance practice offers. How they use their arsenal of no less than twenty instruments ensures healing success.”
(Drehpunkt Kultur)

„A grandiose programme, highly entertaining and polished. So if you are currently sitting in quarantine, you should definitely not miss out on consulting La Ninfea’s musical medicine cabinet. The musicians cure boredom immediately. Definitely listen to it!“
(Ouvertüre)

„The album “Music is the Cure! Or La Ninfea’s musical medicine cabinet” not only offers unusual works of music history, unusual arrangements, improvisations and instruments, but is also balm for the soul in these times.“
