- Musicians of the Mahler Chamber Orchestra
- Henrik Oppermann, Schallgeber
ABOUT THIS CONCERT
Virtual reality performance of Charles Ives' 'The Unanswered Question' recorded at St. Elisabeth-Kirche, Berlin in 2021.
Charles Ives' landmark composition The Unanswered Question takes the immersive experience in a different direction. By separating the instrument groups, Ives already sought to create a spatial experience. Future Presence II enhances that experience by integrating it into a VR installation, inviting the user to discover the spatial element of the composition.
Our VR presentation of this short, philosophical work stands as the first recording which can take into account the work's most crucial musical features: space, distance, and existence itself. It marks the second phase of our exploration of immersive audio, involving wind instruments and the separation of sounds.
We welcome you to the St. Elisabethkirche in Berlin Mitte, where our immersive experience was created, to dive into the world of Charles Ives and the Mahler Chamber Orchestra.
