My new piece ‘Cund’ receives it’s World Premiere this Saturday 22nd October at the Filarmonica de Stat Sibiu at 5pm (UTC+ 1). It was composed as part of an incredible residency programme with @ICon, in partnership with the @cmc.
My piece is for solo accordion and percussion ensemble, and based on the beautiful St Nicholas’ Church, Cund.
The description of the programme is below along with the streaming link.
“The story begins with the six composers from Romania, Europe and the USA who traveled in search of new sources of inspiration. They visited the heritage villages and learned from the locals legends inherited from their ancestors, and then shared the experience in the ICon Arts creative laboratory.
They encountered in each fortified church emotions prepared to exist for eternity, imprinted in paintings, decorations, mysterious staircases, in fairy-tale windows, bells, symbols and medieval coats of arms.
Together they triggered a certain state of inevitable contemplation, conducive to the act of creation in its most authentic manifestations.
The composers thus took over the living memory of a central detail which they metamorphosed into shapes and heights dedicated to a solo instrument. Six new pieces and as many universes, apparently limited in time, infinite in intention, resulted.
On Saturday, 11 artists will perform under the inspiration of the towns of Biertan, Copșa Mare, Cund, Valea Viilor, Cloașterf and Mălâncrav.”
