MUSIK#MALEREI

27. April 2024, 20:00
Halle – Alte Feuerwache Cologne
MUSIK#MALEREI is a portrait concert by the Greek composer Ioannis Mitsialis, who has recently moved to Cologne. His working concept focuses on the possible ambiguity between foreground and background sound events in musical textures as well as on the parallels of this idea in the field of painting. Two of his works will be premiered on the concert evening: one for solo percussion and one for chamber ensemble. 
In addition, the string trio "Lalayi" by Farzia Fallah (Iran), "Vent Nocturne" for solo viola and electronics by Kaija Saariaho (Finland) and a world premiere by Francisco C. Goldschmidt (Chile) for amplified violin and video will be performed, works that also show a strong relationship between music and visual arts.
