Au sens large du terme : il s’agira en effet des Amériques musicales, de l’Alaska jusqu’à la Terre de feu, du Rio de la Plata jusqu’au Labrador. Ce grand voyage musical, je suis heureux qu’il ait lieu à la Maison de la radio qui depuis le mois de novembre dernier, avec l’inauguration de notre Auditorium et la réouverture du Studio 104 entièrement rénové, est l’un des lieux qui fait vivre la musique en France. Je me réjouis d’autant plus que notre Maison, munie de ces deux salles magnifiques et d’un équipement qui met à profit l’évolution constante des technologies, accueille avec Présences un festival consacré à la création musicale. Nouveauté, invention, audace : tels sont les maîtres-mots de cet ensemble de concerts qui prouvent que la musique de notre temps aime prendre le parfum du grand large et particulièrement, cette année, celui des Amériques. Radio France, au fil de ces quatorze rendez-vous, se transforme en vaisseau transatlantique. N’hésitez pas à vous embarquer avec nous. Nos quatre formations – l’Orchestre National de France, l’Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France, le Chœur et la Maîtrise de Radio France –, les nombreux artistes que nous invitons, et bien sûr nos antennes avec France Musique au premier chef, sont prêts à vous emmener dans la plus étonnante des aventures. Mathieu Gallet, Président-directeur général de Radio France 6 UN NOUVEAU MONDE « Il y a une Amérique musicale, dont Beethoven a été le Colomb, je serai Pizarre ou Cortez. » Berlioz En 1991, à l’occasion de sa première édition, le festival Présences prenait le pouls de l’Amérique du Nord et faisait entendre bien des compositeurs, de George Antheil à Conlon Nancarrow, dont le nom était à peine connu en France. Vingt-quatre ans plus tard, Présences traverse de nouveau l’Atlantique mais se propose d’explorer les musiques du continent américain tout entier. Un continent qui ne se résume pas aux seuls États-Unis, et où les écoles nationales, comme partout dans le monde, s’effacent au profit des talents individuels les plus affirmés. Talents qui désormais viennent de tous les pays. Si l’on connaît bien désormais la musique d’un John Adams (dont nous entendrons plusieurs partitions imposantes, dont Doctor Atomic Symphony et Son of Chamber Symphony ) ou d’un Steve Reich, si le prestige de Paris attire depuis longtemps les compositeurs argentins (de Ricardo Nillni à Martin Matalon), des figures comme Victor Ibarra (d’origine mexicaine), Januibe Tejera (qui a vu le jour au Brésil) ou Luis Fernando Rizo-Salom (né à Bogota) sont typiques de notre époque : une époque où le style de chacun se forge au contact des sons du monde entier et à l’écoute des musiques de tous les siècles passés. S’étonnera-t-on qu’Osvaldo Golijov fasse entendre dans Nazareno les polyphonies Yoruba réinventées pour les pianos des sœurs Labèque, que Luis Naon chante les paysages de toutes les Amériques dans Quebrada/Horizonte, qu’Esteban Benzecry fasse entendre un triptyque précolombien intitulé Rituales amerindios ? Bien des compositeurs de notre programmation ont choisi délibérément de faire se télescoper en eux les cultures : José Evangelista est un musicien canadien d’origine espagnole, Juan Pablo Carreno s’est formé en Colombie, aux États-Unis et en France. Tous éprouvent cependant le besoin d’exprimer quelque chose (une nostalgie, un sentiment de la danse, une impatience de l’avenir) et ne se contentent pas d’illustrer des formes pures et parfaites. Beaucoup d’entre eux également aiment l’orchestre, et on se réjouira que la moitié des concerts de cette édition de Présences fasse appel à ce type de formation, ce qui permettra à l’Orchestre National de France et à l’Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France de donner toute la mesure de leur talent, avec peut-être, côté Philharmonique, une attirance pour l’Amérique du Sud et, côté National, un tropisme boréal. Joshua Dos Santos, James Gaffigan, Domingo Hindoyan, pour n’en citer que quelques uns, illustreront la vitalité de la direction d’orchestre américaine, ce qui n’empêche pas notre festival, évidemment, d’inviter de nombreux ensembles et solistes qui font de la création leur pain quotidien et leur oxygène indispensable. Et au Chœur et à la Maîtrise de Radio France de participer à la Transmigration of the Soul selon Adams. Présences est un moment essentiel dans la saison musicale de Radio France, mais la musique de notre temps s’affiche de manière régulière au programme de nos concerts. Cette saison, les cartes blanches à Peter Eötvös et à Bruno Mantovani, ou la création d’œuvres nouvelles de Philippe Hurel ou d’Edith Canat de Chizy, entre autres exemples, prouvent le désir qui est le nôtre d’accompagner cet élan toujours imprévu, toujours indompté qui a nom création.

  • "Descubriendo Mis Raíces" № 5
    La presenta «DESCUBRIENDO MIS RAÍCES» Nº 5 Mayo de 2020 Palabras de Bienvenida Me complace darles la bienvenida a la quinta entrega del Boletín "Descubriendo mis raíces", una publicación digital de carácter periódico elaborada por la Embajada de la República Argentina en Ucrania que promueve el conocimiento relativo a las destacadas personalidades del ámbito de la ciencia, los negocios y la cultura argentina, entre otros, de origen ucraniano y/o cuyos orígenes familiares se remontan a las ciudades ucranianas. La colectividad ucraniana en Argentina se remonta a fines del siglo XIX, y se posiciona como la séptima diáspora ucraniana a nivel mundial, con alrededor de 450.000 miembros, incluyendo, en algunos casos, varias generaciones. Se pueden identificar cuatro corrientes inmigratorias principales, aunque no excluyentes, de ucranianos hacia nuestro país: 1897-1914; 1920-1939; 1946-1960; y desde 1994 hasta la actualidad. La primera migración organizada tuvo lugar en la ciudad de Apóstoles, en la Provincia de Misiones. Todas y cada una de ellas han dotado a la Argentina de valiosos representantes, ya que tanto aquellos que alcanzaron pública notoriedad como aquellos que permanecen anónimos han colaborado significativamente mediante su trabajo, esfuerzo, creatividad, valores y conocimientos en la conformación de la Argentina actual. Los trascendidos sobre la generosa hospitalidad de la Argentina llegaron a la lejana Europa del Este y Central. Nuestro país abrió sus puertas a una amplia y fecunda serie de migraciones internacionales. Es menester asimismo destacar la valiosa labor que las organizaciones de la comunidad ucraniana han realizado en la Argentina con el objetivo de preservar las tradiciones y valores ucranianos en nuestro país.
