The SWR Vocal Ensemble a cappella brings a prominent evening of premieres to the Mozart Hall. Martin Smolka invites us on a winter walk with Henry David Thoreau. Alberto Posadas asks how we look back on people from earlier times. And Georges Aperghis goes the other way with the question of how future generations will look at us; with humour and verve, he looks for alternatives to forgetfulness and pessimism.
