Program note
“To be told” is a piece in three par ts commissioned by the Junge Deutsche Philhar monie suppor ted by the Er nst von Siemens Music Foundation The premiere of this piece is planned on September 1, 2 0 2 4, at the histor ic St Paul's Church in Frankfur t perfor med by the Junge Deutsche Philhar monie conducted by André de Ridder. This site holds great symbolic significance as the location of the first German National Assembly in 1848.
The 15 - to 2 0 -minute piece is crafted for ensemble and electronics, chosen to create an intr icate and immersive soundscape within the church's resonant acoustics By incor porating concise statements from the 1848 National Assembly, the piece weaves a r ich tapestr y of histor ical and contemporar y reflections on democracy tangible through music, emphasizing the impor tance of diverse opinions, lively discourse, and the vibrant inter play of different voices The piece challenges the notion of societal division and instead highlights the strength found in diversit y and the dynamic nature of democratic engagement The first movement is inspired by fragments of the statements of the National Asembly, the second is inspired by L ouise Otto-Peters, a Ger man suffragist and women's r ights movement activist, and the third one portraits the concept of democracy from a global perspective.
“To be told” stands as a testament to the endur ing power of the ideals of equalit y, and the ongoing str uggle to create a just and inclusive societ y Through this composition, the audience is invited to reflect on the past, engage with the present, and envision a hopeful future where power thrives on the participation and collaboration of everyone.

Allen gleiche Rechte, gleiches Gesetz, gleiches Gericht, gleiche Teilnahme an der Gesetzgebung.
Freiheit für Alle ohne Unterschied der Geburt, des Standes und des Glaubens, ist das Ziel, nach welchem das deutsche
