MICA portrait for Ingrid Schmoliner
piano solo concert – video
„…In every moment the audience is offered unexpected qualities of experience and enchantingly foreign acoustic signals which invite to attentive listening: An excitingly lustful journey to often unknown musical horizons for non-judging and unprejudiced ears which nonetheless are always liable for our heads…“
Renald Deppe
„… and Schmoliner are incredible listeners building with an uncanny precision on the other one’s ideas. These young musicians belong the new generation of artists that goes beyond form, delving deep into human emotions thanks to their broad and open-minded skills on their instruments, yet staying away from speed and shock effects, and staying away from cheap sentimentalism on the other end of the spectrum.“
