O que significa isto no que respeita ao papel do compositor? Que elementos do projecto vos interessaram e como abordaram esta encomenda? Venables: A minha abordagem foi pensar na Bianchi: Trabalhei recentemente, entre ideia de “o público como sujeito” em vez de outros projectos, em teatro musical que incluía “artista”.

  • Oscar Bianchi: Achat De Chevaux (2008) the Ability to Make
    Oscar Bianchi : Achat de Chevaux (2008) world-première, commissioned by impuls with support of SACEM published by Editions Durand / Universal Music Publishing The ability to make decisions outside the realm of karma: this is my favourite meaning of the fourth chakra, Anahata. Since music and all intellectual activities are closely related to life forces, I found Anahata to be a powerful symbol for the expression of all the options that are available to an individual both socially and artistically. This is a concerto, because the qualities necessary for making decisions outside the realm of karma demand virtuosity. Conscious of the idealistic aspects of this concept, I have stressed this so-called “ability” rhetorically by interacting with specific music elements, such as rising glissandi (potential metaphors for challenges to gravity) and rhythmic ostinati (the perpetual advance of life). Anahata Concerto is dedicated to Beat Furrer and the Klangforum Wien. Oscar Bianchi, November 2008 Winner of the 2005 Gaudeamus prize, Italian-Swiss composer Oscar Bianchi is quickly becoming recognized by critics, fellow musicians, and audiences as one of the most idiomatic and dynamic composers of his generation. His music, which is characterized by dense textures, vivid imagination, and dra matic tension has already been played to critical acclaim by major ensembles such as Ictus, Les Percussions de Strasbourg, Nieuw Ensemble, Neue Vocalsolisten Stuttgart, Ensemble l’Itinéraire in venues like Lincoln Center, Merkin Hall NY, Muziekgebouw, Venice Biennale, Musica Strasbourg, Ircam Centre-Pompidou, Abbaye de Royaumont, Eclat Stuttgart, Ars Musica Brussels, World New Music Days-Tage für Neue Musik Zürich. His works have been broadcasted in many European national radio stations.

  • Luisa Vinci Began Her Musical Studies at the Civic School of Music in Milan
    Luisa Vinci began her musical studies at the Civic School of Music in Milan. In 1986 she graduated from the G. Verdi Conservatory of Como with a specialization in trombone. She immediately began working as a freelance professional with symphonic orchestras, ensembles and orchestras specialized in the Baroque and Renaissance repertoire. She also studied Literature and Philosophy at the State University of Milan and developed her managerial skills in the first Master’s Program in Management for the Performing Arts at the LUISS University of Rome in 1988. In 1992 she began working with the publishing house Sugar, where she was in charge of promoting the Suvini Zerboni classical and contemporary music catalogue. In this role she helped increase the number of national and international performances of Italian symphonic and chamber music, historically a very precious and particular repertoire. She entered into contact with the most important composers represented by the publishing house, including Goffredo Petrassi, Franco Donatoni, Luciano Berio, and Ivan Fedele, whose works she promoted via radio and discography. She also supervised performance of these works and commissions for new ones with major Italian and international musical institutions. In 2000 she joined Casa Ricordi – BMG, becoming Director of Promotion in 2002. In this position she worked to promote the impressive catalogue of operas and the modern and contemporary repertoire, contributing to the circulation of musical works through major co- productions, new commissions and marketing to increase the number of performances and thus earnings from rental fees. She has worked with orchestra and opera house directors, festivals and orchestras planning new commissions of musical works for composers, among whom we mention Salvatore Sciarrino, Luca Francesconi, Giorgio Battistelli, Giacomo Manzoni, and Azio Corghi.

WOOD VIDEO DESIGNER PIERRE MARTIN SOUND DESIGN SOUND INTERMEDIA MOVEMENT DIRECTOR SARAH FAHIE CHROMA LYRIC HAMMERSMITH 24 | 26 | 27 | 28 MAY 2016 A CO-COMMISSION WITH THE GUILDHALL SCHOOL OF MUSIC & DRAMA GENEROUS PHILANTHROPIC SUPPORT FROM THE RVW TRUST Welcome We’re delighted to be working together to mount this new opera. These performances of 4.48 Psychosis mark the culmination of a three- year residency for composer Philip Venables at the Royal Opera House and Guildhall School of Music & Drama. The residency is an attempt both to make the most of the extraordinary artists working at the Royal Opera House around the year and to pull on the structured and supportive learning and creative environment available at the GSMD, and is part of a wider set of training initiatives between the two organizations. It feels completely right for this piece to be presented at the Lyric Hammersmith, a theatre with a long history of staging musical work and also the work of Sarah Kane. Adaptation is often at the heart of opera-making. Throughout history, the opera canon has been made up of familiar stories re-told in new forms. Art has always been derived from other art. The addition of music to a text opens up a new psychological space; music expresses something that lies in the empty spaces between and within words. Philip explores the eternal question of whether music or text takes the lead, showing us that there are still new ways to enliven opera’s old forms and enabling us to hear Sarah Kane’s extraordinary text with fresh ears.

    Ensemble Modern Magazin 2014/1 Nr. 39 Inhalt Index From My Life I have been playing the cello since I was nine. My fi rst teacher in Mainz looked like a story-book cellist: quite voluminous and with a goatee. He was from Leipzig (for insiders: a student of Julius Klengel), i.e. he was a Saxon, but he invariably pronounced the world »violoncello« with a strong French accent, which I thought very exclusive at the time. Michael M.
