Final Holliger

root — Sun, 30 Jun 2013 20:00:00 +0000

FULL CONCERT

An evening in the musical Pantheon of Heinz Holliger, leading a group of young musicians from the Lucerne Festival Academy Orchestra. The conductor and composer gives free rein to his taste for polyphonic works such as that of Carter or prototypes like Ligeti’s Kammerkonzert, a work that has become a classic of the 20th century.

The finale of ManiFeste-2013 belongs to the new a cappella quartet, in an act of recognition by Holliger who has set 10 mystical epigrams by Angelus Silesius (1624-1677) to music. The constant invention of breath and writing for voice is like a mirror for Silesius’s thoughts.

In Vivo Danse

root — Sun, 30 Jun 2013 17:00:00 +0000

The choreographers, Christine Gérard, Alban Richard, Mark Lorimer and Clinton Stringer invent their collaborative methods with 6 composers: a round-trip from music to dance, from the stage to the research studio.

Developing in the universe of percussion and electronics, In Vivo Dance 2013 combines writing for the movement of both sonorous and dancing bodies. This program supervised by the percussionist Samuel Favre, a soloist from the Ensemble intercontemporain and by Thierry De Mey will be featured in this evening’s program, opens the doors to a new type of artistic encounter.

Stockhausen

root — Fri, 28 Jun 2013 21:00:00 +0000

Mantra: no theme, no face, no melody, just a “magic formula” following the Sanskrit tradition. In 1970, Stockhausen created this polyrhythmic, polyphonic work based on a formula of 13 sounds.

His inexhaustible invention is carried out with two pianos equipped with small percussions, augmented by processing techniques opera by ring modulation. Jean-François Heisser and Jean-Frédéric Neuburger have created the subject of a workshop-concert from this visionary journey.
