The evening begins in the Middle Ages and then takes a big jump to the present day.<\/p>\n
We are extremely happy to present Michael Hersch with his new composition for soprano and ensemble: “one step to the next, worlds ending”. We\u2019ve collaborated 2021 in the music theater production “Poppaea”, and are pleased to continue with this new special program focus last season\u2019s great experience. Our soprano soloist Ah Young Hong \u2013 splendid in the title role in “Poppaea” \u2013 will take on the solo part.<\/p>\n
The concert program is framed by newly arranged works from the 14th century: by Guillaume de Machaut as well as by Jacob de Senleches and Jean Galiot. These belong to the style epoch of the “Ars subtilior”, which developed further from Machaut’s musical ideas. We perform them in an arrangement by Erik O\u00f1a. The Argentine composer, who died in 2019 had taught at the Electronic Studio of the FHNW in Basel since 2001.<\/p>\n
The program is complemented by the compositions “After Serra” and “Aequilibria”. American composer Jason Eckardt refers to the monumental sculptures of visual artist Richard Serra. One of Serra\u2019s sculptures \u2013 “Intersection” \u2013 stands on the place in front of the \u201cTheater Basel\u201d since 1992. Islandic composer Anna Thorvaldsdottir captivates in her music with soft, spherical sounds.<\/p>\n
The concert closes as it began with the motet “Puis qu’en oubli” by Guillaume de Machaut in the arrangement by Michael Hersch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
