NyMusikk@Oslo Screen:

Ordløs retorikk med Francesco Dillon (IT)

Oslo Screen er en kunstfilmfestival som fokusere på ikke-narrativ film. På denne konserten spør vi oss hva narrativiteten i musikken er eller kan være for noe. Finnes det ”ikke-narrativ musikk”? Eller handler Pena og Bach handler om det musikken forteller som den ikke sier?

Cellisten Francesco Dillon kjenner vi fra rennomerte ensembles som Alter Ego og Quartetto Prometeo, med dem han turnerer verden rundt. Som solist har han samarbeidet med komponister som Bryars, Glass, V. Globokar, S.Gubaidulina, Harvey, Hosokawa, B. Lang, Pärt, Reich, Romitelli, Saariaho, Sciarrino, Penas stykket som fremføres i kveld er skrevet til og urfremført av Dillon.
