An evening full of sound rituals and silent tension in Bonn

With Maria de Alvear. Tree, an extraordinary evening of contemporary music will take place on June 7, 2026, in the Dialogue Space Kreuzung an St. Helena. The composer Maria de Alvear is one of the prominent voices of New Music: born in Madrid, shaped in Cologne since the 1980s, awarded the Spanish National Prize for Music, and internationally present for years with interdisciplinary works between voice, sound space, and performance. Her work Tree combines vocal presence, rhythmic density, and a musical imagery that goes far beyond the classical concert format.

The space as a player

The Dialogue Space Kreuzung an St. Helena is not just any concert venue, but a former church space that is now used as an art and cultural space. The architecture is considered concentrated, meditative, and open to unusual formats; the address is Bornheimer Straße 130 in Bonn, with a capacity indicated between 100 to 250 seats. This intimate dimension enhances the live atmosphere of an evening with Maria de Alvear: Every nuance, every vocal gesture, and every rhythmic movement receives its own echo in the space.

Sound between ritual and presence

Tree connects to de Alvear's artistic signature, which never separates sound, body, and meaning. The already published work with Drums Off Chaos shows how a dense, almost ritual structure emerges from voice and percussion. The material appears archaic and at the same time highly modern: repetitive impulses, organic sound surfaces, and an expressive vocal art that not only fills the space but shapes it. For the audience, this creates an intense concert experience between concentration, tension, and sensual openness. ([soundohm.com](https://www.soundohm.com/product/baum?utm_source=openai))

A composer with an international profile

Maria de Alvear has found her artistic home in Cologne, studied new music theatre with Mauricio Kagel, and has been working for years with video, performance, and music projects. Her works have been performed worldwide by ensembles such as Ensemble Modern, Basel Sinfonietta, and hr-Sinfonieorchester, and documented by broadcasters such as SWR, WDR, Arte, and CBC/Radio Canada. This speaks to authority, artistic reach, and a signature that is well-rooted in the field of contemporary music.
