Mondrian Ensemble
Since autumn 2009 the Villa Sträuli has embarked
cooperative projects with the Mondrian Ensemble
from Basel.
The exploration of modern and contemporary music is
every bit as important to the Mondrian Ensemble as its
intensive engagement with a classical and romantic
repertoire. In this regard, the Mondrian Ensemble sees
itself both as a contemporary music ensemble and as an
interpreter of innovative music from past centuries. In
addition to playing concerts “on commission,” the Mondrian
Ensemble coordinates three independent projects each
year with programmes it designs itself.
What is Salonpalaver?
Fast-paced poetry slams, acting and performance art,
rousing speeches, lively debates, and thought-provoking
readings—elements from all these merge into a single art
form, the spoken word. Sprinklings of music add spice to
the whole.
Beginning June 2010 – and for now, four times
a year – Salonpalaver provides spoken-word poets with a
platform to perform. Salonpalaver venues alternate between
the Villa Sträuli’s gold salon in Winterthur, Sphères in Zurich
and other locations.
