Doctor / The Man: Jeff Hallman Ensemble Modern With generous support from the Aventis Foundation, Kulturfond Frankfurt RheinMain and Frankfurt Patronatsverein – Sektion Oper David Lynch's film Lost Highway (1997) is a fascinating combination of psycho-thriller, horror and film noir. The Austrian composer Olga Neuwirth (*1968) and Literary Nobel Prize winner Elfriede Jelinek based their libretto on David Lynch and Barry Gifford's script. The World Premiere took place at the Steirische Herbst in Graz in 2003. Neuwirth developed a very ambitious way of telling the story about the „study of a person, who cannot come to terms with his fate“ (Gifford), combined with feverish changes in scene. Her score is extremely complex, combining intermedial threads with grand scale live electronics and video, which makes the fictionalised reality become almost virtual. „Dick Laurent is dead.“ The Jazz musician Fred hears this sentence over his intercom, and a door opens to a parallel universe.

    17th Slowind Festival 2015 Žuraj with Slowind! IN THE VOR TEX OF TI Slovenian PhilharmonicME Cankarjev dom 19–25 October 2015 Artistic Director: Vito Žuraj • Pierre Boulez • Helmut Lachenmann • Vito Žuraj • Heitor Villa-Lobos • Gérard Grisey • Nicola Vicentino • Ivan Wyschnegradsky • Márton Illés • Michael Pelzel • György Ligeti • Alwyn Tomas Westbrooke • Nina Šenk • Bruno Mantovani • Georg Katzer • Uroš Rojko • Lothar Voigtländer • Vinko Globokar • Heinz Holliger • Mihael Paš • Salvatore Sciarrino • Bojana Šaljić Podešva • Beat Furrer • Anton Webern • Franz Schubert • Matej Bonin • Wolfgang Rihm • Larisa Vrhunc • Brice Pauset • Valued Listeners, It is no coincidence that we in Slowind decided almost three years ago to entrust the artistic direction of our festival to the penetrating, successful and (still) young composer Vito Žuraj. And it is precisely in the last three years that Vito has achieved even greater success, recently being capped off with the prestigious Prešeren Fund Prize in 2014, as well as a series of performances of his compositions at a diverse range of international music venues. Vito’s close collaboration with composers and performers of various stylistic orientations was an additional impetus for us to prepare the Slowind Festival under the leadership of a Slovenian artistic director for the first time! This autumn, we will put ourselves at the mercy of the vortex of time and again celebrate to some extent. On this occasion, we will mark the th th 90 birthday of Pierre Boulez as well as the 80 birthday of Helmut Lachenmann and Georg Katzer. In addition to works by these distinguished th composers, the 17 Slowind Festival will also present a range of prominent composers of our time, including Bruno Mantovani, Brice Pauset, Michael Pelzel, Heinz Holliger, Beat Furrer and Márton Illés, as well as Slovenian composers Larisa Vrhunc, Nina Šenk, Bojana Šaljić Podešva, Uroš Rojko, and Matej Bonin, and, of course, the festival’s artistic director Vito Žuraj.

  • GABRIELA DIAZ Georgia Native Gabriela Diaz Began Her Musical Training at the Age of Five, Studying Piano with Her Mother, and the Next Year, Violin with Her Father
    1 IMMERSION, ABSORPTION, CONNECTION. Composer Edgar Barroso presents a retrospective collection of works that explore his interest in contemporary sci- ence and technologies, social customs, spirituality, and more, using a variety of ensemble combinations and extended techniques for an array of textures and tonal colors. Commenting on prevailing social activities, Over-Proximity, a work in which the voices compete against each other’s seemingly disconnected phrases, addresses the hyper-connectivity and personal comparisons affected by social networking. The composer examines duration and perspective in works including Sketches of Briefness, Metric Ex- pansion of Space, and Aion, illustrating temporal relationships and the subjectivity of time. Scientific concepts inspire much of Barroso’s music, from the study of variation and change in Morphometrics to Echoic, which features the gamelan’s unique timbre and resonance spectrum. Barroso emphasizes balance, harmony, tranquility, and resolution in works like ACU and Ataraxia, while Noemata and Kuanasi Uato emphasize discord, struggle, and instability, evoking the hardships faced in his native Mexico. 2 KUANASI UATO Commissioned by the International Cervantino Festival, the name of this piece comes from an expression in the Purepecha language, Kuanasi Huato, which means “hill of frogs.” and describes the shape of a series of hills that look like many overlapped frogs. Kuanasi Huato is also the origin of Guanajuato, the name of a city in the center of Mexico, my native country. Because of the geographical characteristics of the city, one can only access it by going through tunnels that cross those hills. The transitions between the outside of the city and the arrival to it is quite unique.
