I see my music now as a synthesis of these elements, combined with what I learned from Grisey and the spectralists, and I detect from Kraft to my latest pieces the same underlying tastes and sense of drama.” – Magnus Lindberg The shift in musical thinking that Magnus Lindberg thus described in December 2012, a few weeks before the premiere of Era, was utter and profound. Lindberg’s composer profile has evolved from his early edgy modernism, “carved in stone” to use his own words, to the softer and more sonorous idiom that he has embraced recently, suggesting a spiritual kinship with late Romanticism and the great masters of the early 20th century. On the other hand, in the same comment Lindberg also mentioned features that have remained constant in his music, including his penchant for drama going back to the early defiantly modernistKraft (1985).

  • Steve Parker Day Is Done
    Steve Parker Day is Done November 21, 2020 – February 28, 2021 Brown Foundation Gallery & Vault November 21, 2020 – February 28, 2021 Steve Parker Day is Done Day is Done features sound sculptures by Austin-based artist Steve Parker. His work explores communal experiences that examine history, systems, and behavior. The exhibition features a new work inspired by Guy Taylor’s public performance of Taps each evening in downtown Galveston and the tradition being carried on by Constable Clint Wayne Brown. Parker’s site-responsive sculpture for Galveston is made from salvaged brass instrument bells that play a composition of collected recordings of the lyrics of the well-known Taps tune. This work reflects on its roots as a call to retire for the evening and metaphor for life and death. The exhibition also features Parker’s 2018 work Sirens in the second-floor vault, which reimagines the function of the contemporary civil defense siren. Rather than projecting conventional warning tones, Sirens plays intermittent recordings of songs of distress as a call to action. Steve Parker is an artist, musician, and curator in Austin, TX. He is the recipient of the Rome Prize, the Tito’s Prize, a Fulbright, and grants from the National Endowment for the Arts. Parker works with salvaged musical instruments, amateur choirs, marching bands, urban bat colonies, flocks of grackles, and pedicab fleets to investigate how communal listening can provoke greater social awareness and responsibility. His projects include elaborate civic rituals for humans, animals, and machines; listening sculptures modeled after obsolete surveillance tools; and cathartic transportation symphonies for operators of cars, pedicabs, and bicycles.

FIN DU CONCERT VERS 23H. Un chemin tout d’abord : Helsinki, Darmstadt, Sienne puis Paris. Des rencontres ensuite : Einojuhani Rautavaara, Paavo Heininen et Osmo Lindeman, Helmut Lachenmann, Brian Ferneyhough, Franco Donatoni, Vinko Globokar et Gérard Grisey. Sous le signe de l’ouverture, la forma- tion de Magnus Lindberg s’est poursuivie dans un fascinant éclectisme intellectuel et esthétique jusqu’à confronter les héritages nationaux à la scène actuelle du pop-rock ou du métal. Et le compositeur de se souvenir : « Tous ces pôles d’attraction, assez éloignés, ont constitué une somme d’influences assez heureuses. Et je recherchai cette diver- sité de références comme autant de langage, car à cette époque, d’un point de vue stylistique, je n’avais pas de véritable inquiétude, je savais exactement ce que je voulais. Ce qui n’a pas toujours été le cas par la suite. » (Entretien avec Peter Szendy, « Magnus Lindberg », Les Cahiers de l’Ircam 3, 1993.) Si un Grand soir ne peut synthétiser un tel parcours en un unique concert, ne peut-il replacer l’artiste dans le contexte sonore qui l’a vu naître ? Version révisée d’une pièce destinée à un concours de direction d’orchestre, Arena 2 est un parfait exemple d’orchestration aux extra- ordinaires effets kaléidoscopiques de Magnus Lindberg.

In the second half of the 20th century it seemed that composers wrote one definitive concerto for an instrument and then moved on, but if you look further back, composers like Bartók and Prokofiev were happy to return and come up with new solutions for the same instrument. I’m with them because I’m particularly drawn to the great instruments such as piano, violin and cello – I’m not interested in ending up having to write concertos for exotica such as theremin. I’ve also had healthy gaps between my concertos to allow thinking time: 20 years between my two piano concertos, 15 between those for cello, and about 10 years will separate the violin concertos.” Thus spoke Magnus Lindberg around the time of the premiere of his Second Violin Concerto in late 2015. He had gone through a quick replay, so to speak, of his earlier concerto cycle in the preceding years: his earlier concertos for piano (1994), cello (1999) and violin (2006) each gained a successor in fairly rapid succession with the Second Piano Concerto (2012), the Second Cello Concerto (2013) and the Second Violin Concerto (2015).
