BUILDING PERFORMANCE PRACTICES VOL.2

Building Performance Practices vol.2
àktapha ensemble

On February 5 the final concert of the Building Performance Practices seminar by the àktapha ensemble will take place.

The concert features eight world premieres of new works, developed through an intensive period of shared creation, listening, and experimentation. Within the framework of the seminar, composers worked in close collaboration with the musicians of àktapha, approaching composition as a living performative practice and a collective process.

Under the artistic guidance of composer Ioannis Angelakis, Building Performance Practices functioned as a space of encounter, exchange, and trust, where ideas were tested and transformed through musical practice. The final concert marks the first public presentation of this process and invites the audience to take part in the experience of contemporary music creation.

The following works will be presented:

• Francesco Fiorenzani – Atlante Ribelle, for percussion, guitar, double bass
• Alireza Gholamianoghani – Nahā n az nahoft, for solo double bass
• Kenrick Ka Ki Ho – Mukti, for percussion, guitar, clarinet, double bass
• Yalda Jahangiri – The Wind Will Carry Us, for percussion, double bass
• Sonia Lozina – a rusty piece, played on sand, for percussion, guitar, clarinet, double bass
• Luo Mengyong – Lachesism, for guitar, double bass
• Matteo Rigotti – naòs, for percussion, guitar, clarinet, double bass
• Tianyu Zou – Étude for Ensemble, for percussion, guitar, clarinet, double bass, and electronics

Duration: 60 minutes, 15 minutes intermission
