An Evening Between Silence, Tension and Vibrant Presence
With "Torn," a concert will come to Göttingen on September 12, 2026, that places the violin as a narrating, probing, and electrified voice in the spotlight. Adam Woodward and Arsalan Abedian combine musical stasis, electronic condensation, and fine sonic friction to create an intense concert experience in the Alte Fechthalle.

Sound Between Meditation and Departure
"Torn" revolves around loneliness, repetition, and the question of how much tension a space can bear before silence tips into noise, according to the program description. The violin is tuned and re-tuned, at times appearing naked, at times amplified, and opens up a field between nature observation, abstract melody, and electric sound design. Those who love new music will not experience routine here, but rather a precisely composed live atmosphere full of concentration and friction.

A Program for Attentive Ears
The composition framework brings together works by Bahar Royaee, Carola Bauckholt, Farzia Fallah, Stuart Wheeler, Peter Ablinger, and Jack Sheen. This results in a multifaceted set that works with timbre, orchestration on the smallest scale, and the interplay of acoustic and electronic language. The audience encounters a form of chamber music that consciously pushes boundaries and makes the listening space itself an event.

The Alte Fechthalle as an Acoustic Resonance Space
The Alte Fechthalle is one of Göttingen's special cultural venues: centrally located in the city center, just a few minutes from the train station, with excellent acoustics, variable seating arrangements, and space for up to 200 people. The listed building from 1903 combines historical atmosphere with clear sound presence, making it ideal for a concert that focuses on nuances, spatial impact, and concentration.
