Season 19/20

In 2019, the Ensemble’s activity is developing in new directions. Romania is one of them, with its first participation in the remarkable Enescu festival in Bucarest, a real hub of classical and contemporary music, filled with numerous concerts and truly well organized. Linea plays his repertoire (Raphaël Cendo Corps, Francesco Filidei Finito Ogni Gesto, Alex Mincek Chamber Concerto) and a world premiere by Laurentiu Ganea for piano and ensemble (soloist: Daumants Liepins).

From a chord repeated more than four thousand times, with imperceptible variations, emerges a striking tableau, an ironic synthesis of modern-day compositional techniques, from American groove to spectralism, both of which are dear to the piece’s composer Georg Friedrich Haas. The vitality of Austrian artistic creation is confirmed by two of his compatriots: Olga Neuwirth and Clemens Gadenstätter, both of whom incorporate space and visual arts into their approach – the latter with the use of lights played by musicians, creating a dialogue with an increasingly condensed musical material.

A program imagined from suspension and balance and the delicate transition from immobility to movement. The Ensemble Linea performs for the first time in Turin in collaboration with the musicians of the NEXT-New Ensemble Xenia Turin. Oboe and harp will mix their colors with those of the string quartet in a program including the music of Japanese Yoshihisa Taïra, French Frédéric Durieux and Swiss Heinz Holliger. The winning piece of Edoardo Dadone’s composition contest EstOvest 2019, Quadernino d’estate will be created at this occasion. For harp and string quartet, it will present a rare juxtaposition of sounds creating a minimalist and imaginative atmosphere.

This program revisits the works of Karlheinz Stockhausen, shedding light on its quirky, playful and sometimes amusing aspects. The German composer was as fascinated by the cosmic and spiritual universe as he was by the creative potential of the imagination and of childhood. As such, he loved introducing unexpected, dreamlike or even funny aspects into his compositions. Starting with Tierkreis, based on the signs of the zodiac, moving to Flautina’s “flute-spirit”, and ending with In Freundschaft, performed in costume, this program is accessible to all audiences and presents the works of a composer whose breadth of imagination and playfulness are often underestimated.

PROGRAM :

Karlheinz Stockhausen
In Freundschaft, original version in costume, 1977 (15’)

Karlheinz Stockhausen
Flautina, 1989 (6’)

Karlheinz Stockhausen
Tierkreis, extracts, 1974-75 (26’)
