Autumn 2022 concerts

My new work “Those evenings of the brain” written for Fanny Alofs (voice) and Sebastiaan Kemner (trombone) and commissioned by Silbersee for the project Harmony of the Spheres will be premiered on Saturday 12 November at November Music in Den Bosch. In the same program, Silbersee will also perform my “Non sta, si svolge e gira”, for four voices, on texts by Giordano Bruno.
The concert will be replicated in Amsterdam at the Concertgebouw (3 December) and Noorderkerk (28 January).

In the coming weeks my music will be also performed in Argentina and Italy: my string trio after Gesualdo “Hortense” will be performed by Jacobo Hernández Enríquez (violin), Daniel Oliver Moser (viola) and Leo Morello (cello) in Argentina at the festival Distat Terra 2022 (16 December) and Keiko Morikawa will give the Italian premiere of my work for voice and sign language “Solo” at the festival Atlante Sonoro in Rome (29 December).

SEI is a dance and music performance on the edge between pre-determined and immediate acoustic and choreographed movements.

SEI is the practice component of the PhD research of Suzan Tunca in dance at PhDArts and an element of Giuliano Bracci’s PhD research in composition at docARTES. Suzan and Giuliano have been working together since 2018. What you will see is the integration of a third chapter.

Suzan Tunca investigates how to gain new perspectives on the relationship between the physical and the metaphysical through the dancing body as a creatively mediating interface. Giuliano Bracci investigates how the practice of transcribing involves listening, memory and invention and has the potential to make audible an active and critical relation to the music of the past.

1 March 2016 at  De Link, Tilburg: Info and tickets

Vocalist Cora Schmeiser, visual artist Geerten Ten Bosch, sound artist Anne Wellmer and lighting designer Arnold Schalks bring Cora Schmeiser’s new performance VOX SANGUINIS to life. Via poetic, associative, scientific, absurd and lithurgical means a non-narrative world is being created that is inspired by Hildegard of Bingen and results in a series of still lives in motion.
New vocal compositions by Giuliano Bracci, Kate Moore, Lukas Simonis, Boudewijn Tarenskeen and Aliona Yurtsevich set the tone for a performance in which blood itself takes us on a journey through a laboratory of visions.

Vocal performer and idea: Cora Schmeiser
Silent performer and scenography: Geerten Ten Bosch
Sonic performer and live electronics: Anne Wellmer
Lighting design and technical director: Arnold Schalks

VOX SANGUINIS was commissioned by November Music and made possible with a broedplaatsensubsidie from the Gemeente Den Haag and with private funding. Many thanks to Judith Schoneveld, CLOUD in Den Haag and podium OCW in Rotterdam.
