Chaya Czernowin, Poetica – creation 2024
Commissioned by Ircam-Centre Pompidou, Hellerau European Centre for the Arts, Monday Evening Concerts, Brenda and Steven Schick, Les Percussions de Strasbourg
Coproduction: Ircam-Centre Pompidou, Hellerau European Centre for the Arts, Monday Evening Concerts, Steven Schick, Les Percussions de Strasbourg. Delegated production: Ircam-Centre Pompidou.
In cooperation with IRCAM Paris, Chaya Czernowin is developing Poetica, a multi-channel composition for percussion, string instruments and voice, which will be premiered in HELLERAU on 12 April by Les Percussions de Strasbourg and Steven Schick.
Poetica is the first part of the VENA cycle, consisting of Unhistoric Acts (2nd panel for string quartet and choir of 24 mixed voices – Donaueschingen 2021) and Immaterial (3rd panel for voice – Eclat Festival 2022). In this piece, which spans the entire evening, Chaya Czernowin builds a three-level palace in our listening, where we explore the power of our perception through memory. The foundation of this palace of memory is the relationship between the soloist, the four percussionists and the string trio activated by the soloist through electronics.
⏰ Concert at 8pm.
