Complementarity

Complementarity is our liveliness – and the title of our second album, released in March 2024. The works of the orchestra members are full of multi-layered experiences and reflections and stand for the unique liveliness of the Bridges sound. Among others, soloist Lázló Fenyö, violoncello (winner of the International Pablo Casals Competition), Bar Avni (1st prize La Maestra, Paris 2024) and Harish Shankar (General Music Director of the Schleswig-Holstein State Theatre in Flensburg) will be performing.

Complementarity has been nominated for the German Record Critics' Award 02/2024 in the category Grenzgänge.

About Complementarity

"All compositions are clearly rooted in a tradition and very biographical. During rehearsals, the many sound cultures meet and cross-fertilize each other – and in this dialogue lies the invisible red thread of our music."

Harish Shankar, Conductor

"On the one hand, we have a variety of influences and on the other hand, we have a lot in common, and that is the friendly connections in the ensemble. That makes the music much more personal. It's a veritable microcosm: everything comes from the ensemble for the ensemble and later also for the audience as an extension of the circle."
