Duo Adventure (Teresa Hackel and Karin R\u00fcdt) performs \u00abHay Que Caminar\u00bb: Renaissance works (Machaut, Sermisy, Fuenllana, Baldwine) and Uzor\u2019s \u00abORIRI\u00bb for flute, guitar & tape.<\/p>
Uzor\u2019s new work reconnects in various ways with the works and stylistic elements of the musical Renaissance, which both contrast with and merge into his own material. Between the movements of ORIRI<\/em>, Renaissance works are performed in this program, with Machaut\u2019s rondeau \u00abDoulz viaire gracieus\u00bb serving as the starting point for Uzor\u2019s composition and appearing in changing facets in the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th movements.<\/p> \u201cORIRI (Banquet)<\/em> sets out on paths intended to lead my music into open spaces filled with light, melody, and resonance. As a composer committed to precise notation and the greatest possible sensitivity to sound, opening up to chance and reducing the sonic material is a challenge.<\/p> At the heart of the piece, a parody of Machaut\u2019s rondeau Doulz viaire gracieus<\/em> is set against my passacaglia. The order of medieval sound, with its sophisticated time structures and heavenly proportions, stood in contrast to a society that, in its hierarchical and violent nature, sought refuge in art and calculation\u2014music of chimerical purity, whose intricate verses could offer no substitute for either eroticism or social justice.<\/p> The superimposition of the poetic perspective with the political one is illustrated by a sonic disturbance that, through a sixth-tone tuning, dissolves the functional relationship between chords.<\/p> In ORIRI<\/em>, East and West stand opposite each other\u2014not as enemies, but with curiosity, in hospitality, in dialogue. Flute and guitar here serve as bridges from East to West, from Iraq to Santiago, from monologue to encounter, from dispute to a symposium of voices.\u201d (Charles Uzor)<\/p> Tickets & Access<\/strong> The concert is organized by Goethe-Institut Athen and supported by the Swiss Embassy in Greece.<\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Duo Adventure (Teresa Hackel and Karin R\u00fcdt) performs \u00abHay Que Caminar\u00bb: Renaissance works (Machaut, Sermisy, Fuenllana, Baldwine) and Uzor\u2019s \u00abORIRI\u00bb for flute, guitar & tape.
