We bid farewell to
the bustling Summer
The 7th Chamber Music Festival bids farewell to the Summer and welcomes Fall. This year's festival is a musical journey through Light and Darkness. This theme is expanded and researched in four concerts.
The first concert exposes the theme of darkness and light through Schönberg's Verklärte Nacht and Mendelssohn's sextet. The second concert is dedicated to our dark part, the spiritual, the unknown, the inner struggle and contemplation with works from Olivier Messiaen, Biber and Arvo Pärt. The third concert depicts the light, the outside, the impulse that reaches our senses, therefore it is a concert of works inspired by images from Debussy, Mussorgsky and Górecki. Finally, our fourth concert is a tribute to the loss of a dear friend. It is a memorial and a goodbye.
As a limit between the light and the shadow, the warm and the cold, the dry and the damp, the element of sand became the Visual protagonist of this journey. Noise computer simulations and a digital language inspired by the theories of the futurist Luigi Russolo and the contemporary materiality movement form the basis of this year's festival establishing an innovative but deeply touching visual journey that completes the musical one.
