Tempelhof Broadcast by Lisa Bielawa

"Tempelhof Broadcast" brings together hundreds of musicians in a large-scale spatial acoustic musical celebration in and about Tempelhofer Park in Berlin, composed by American composer Lisa Bielawa. The 60-minute piece will be composed expressly for performance on the tarmac of the former Tempelhof Airport. This site, famous for its role in the Berlin Airlift in 1948-49, is currently open to the public, unaltered, but in 2013 it will begin to evolve into a new role in the life of the city. On several days in the September 2012, the runways will be turned into a vast musical canvas, as community and professional musicians execute a spatialized symphony. A partnership between Grün Berlin, Soloistenensemble Kaleidoskop, Ensemble Mosaik, the Knights Chamber Orchestra of New York, and Bielawa, the performance will also include hundreds of amateur and student musicians. It will be free and open to the public, and it will happen around and among the regular public uses of the Park.
