The Nostalgic Utopian Future Distance

18 May 2025 20:00

SAARIAHO Petals (10′) BOULEZ Dialogue de l’ombre double (20′)HULTMARK Beauty is Wild (10′) NONO La lontananza nostalgica utopica futura (40′-50′) 

An electrifying and electrified evening of duets between soloists drawn from Ensemble 360, and tape or live electronics, all presented in multi-speaker, 360-degree surround-sound.  

 Saariaho’s energetic and colourful Petals for cello is as invigorating as it is haunting, while Boulez creates an intricate dance between the clarinet and its own shadow in his Dialogue de l’ombre double. Bassoonist Emily Hultmark brings to life the desire of Sibelius that “every note must live” in her own work that combines bassoon, electronics and the Finnish composer’s words. The concert concludes with one of Luigi Nono’s final works: his monumental in-the-round piece for violin and eight tapes is by turns sparse, intricate, beautiful and thrilling.
