  • ANNIE GOSFIELD, Whom the BBC Called “A One Woman Hadron
    ANNIE GOSFIELD, whom the BBC called “A one woman Hadron collider,” lives in New York City and works on the boundaries between notated and improvised music, electronic and acoustic sounds, refined timbres and noise. Her music is often inspired by the inherent beauty of found sounds, noise, and machinery. She was dubbed “a master of musical feedback” by The New York Times, who wrote “Ms. Gosfield’s choice of sounds — which on this occasion included radio static, the signals transmitted by the Soviet satellite Sputnik I, and recordings of Hurricane Sandy — are never a mere gimmick. Her extraordinary command of texture and timbre means that whether she is working with a solo cello or with the ensemble she calls her “21st-century avant noisy dream band,” she is able to conjure up a palette of saturated and heady hues.” In 2017 Gosfield collaborated with Yuval Sharon and the Los Angeles Philharmonic on the multi-site opera “War of the Worlds.” This large-scale, citywide collaborative performance was a powerful engagement with public life, bringing opera out of the concert hall and into the streets. Three defunct air raid sirens located in downtown Los Angeles were re-purposed into public speakers to broadcast a free, live performance from Walt Disney Concert Hall. The sirens also served as remote sites for singers and musicians to report back to the concert hall from the street. The notorious 1938 radio drama created by Orson Welles came to new life, directed by The Industry’s Yuval Sharon, conducted by Christopher Rountree and narrated by Sigourney Weaver.

  • Alison Rabinovici
    A web of connections The orchestral ledger in the Louise Hanson-Dyer Music Library Alison Rabinovici One of the treasures of the Louise Hanson-Dyer Music Library is a ledger which documents the library’s holdings of orchestral music, and records the loans of those scores and parts for a period of nearly 50 years, from 1910 to 1954. It is, perhaps, the only extant—and complete— document of its kind in Australia. The ledger was produced by E. Whitehead & Co., of 238 Collins Street, Melbourne, and is dated ‘27/8/1910’. It is an impressive document in its own right, consisting of nearly 900 pages held between two massive linen-covered compressed cardboard covers. Nearly 100 years later, it was showing the combined effects of age, insect and water damage, and neglect. The ledger contains within its pages a view into aspects of the and further afield.

  • After the Worlds. Poświatowska for the Stroh Violin (Accompanying Event)
    After the worlds. Poświatowska for the Stroh violin (accompanying event) venue: Lower Silesian Film Center, Piłsudskiego 64a date: 15 June2021, 19:00 duration: 60 min tickets: 25 zlotys, at the Lower Silesian Film Center cast: Emose Uhunmwangho – vocal, Beata Wołczyk – Stroh violin, Emilia Danilecka – Stroh cello, Joanna Trzaska – Stroh cello, Dariusz Wołczyk – Stroh viola, Piotr Hałaj – tuba, sousaphone, bells The audience of The Stage Songs Review will probably remember well the performance “The Fairy-Tale Stroh Violins”, which won the Toucan of the Off Audience and for which Emose Katarzyna Uhunmwangho received the Jury Off award at the 40th edition of the festival. Now Emose Uhunmwngho and Stroh violins return with a new, original project carried out in cooperation with the Lower Silesian Film Center. In “After the worlds. Poświatowska for the Stroh violin”, the somewhat forgotten poetry of Halina Poświatowska resounds in musical arrangements. The content of the poems is completely stripped of pathos. Poświatowska who lived thirty-two years spent almost twenty in hospitals. It was in one of the hospitals in Krakow where the local professor noticed the talent of the patient, and following the discovery, he brought Wisława Szymborska to her. It is a story about love and death, but most of all about the need to enjoy the life given to us. The wisdom and beauty of everyday experiences are emphasized by unusual instruments: the Stroh violin, tuba, sousaphone, and bells. The quintet is made up of graduates of music academies: Beata Wołczyk, Emilia Danilecka, Joanna Trzaska, Dariusz Wołczyk, and Piotr Hałaj. We invite you to a unique meeting with Poświatowska’s poetry, the phenomenal voice of Emose Uhunmwangho, and the unique sound of the Stroh violin.
