Quartet of Critics in the White Hall: Sound Judgments Live – An Evening for Awakened Ears

A panel of renowned music critics transforms the White Hall of the Regentenbau in Bad Kissingen into a sounding laboratory of interpretation. In this focused stage experience, pointed arguments, precise listening examples, and lively audience reactions come together – a format that combines the theatrical atmosphere of a conversation concert with the expertise of the German Record Critics Award.

What to Expect: Pointed Voices, Precise Listening Samples

Four critics compare historical and current recordings of a central work in music history. With dramatic clarity, they guide through lines of interpretation, tempos, timbres, and recording techniques – a course in applied dramaturgy of listening. The staging follows the principle of a concentrated stage: table, microphones, subtle lighting mood; the ear takes center stage.

Stage Set of Arguments: Light, Space, Resonance

The White Hall, known for its intimate acoustics, concentrates the fine nuances of the listening examples. The understated stage design lets the discourse shine: direction here is leading the conversation, the set design is sound, the costume is the precise language of criticism.

Context: A Format with Tradition

Under the umbrella of the German Record Critics Award, the Quartet of Critics has established itself: public, opinionated, fact-based. Comparable editions at leading festivals demonstrate the format's radiance and show how critically informed moderation turns the audience into active listeners.

Who Is the Evening Suitable For?

For music lovers who want to listen deeper; for theatergoers who appreciate discourse as stage art; for the curious who wish to experience an energetic yet relaxed format that avoids showmanship and convinces with substance.

Conclusion

An evening that shows attitude: sonically rich, argumentatively sharp, atmospherically close. Bad Kissingen provides the ideal backdrop – come and engage with the music and experience how critical ears open horizons.
