Boulez 100
The monumental Répons with electronics and six soloists
Outside the hall, In a Large Open Space by James Tenney (1934-2006) can be heard. Whereas Boulez has meticulously written down how Répons should be played, the American Tenney gives the musicians great freedom in his long-toned works. By moving around in the space, the audience hears changes and shifts in the soundscape. An acoustic trip like no other.
This concert is a co-production of Asko|Schönberg, I SOLISTI, Muziekcentrum De Bijloke and PerPodium vzw.
Supported by Dutch Ministry of OCW, The Flemish Government, Amsterdams Fonds voor de Kunst and the Belgian Taxshelter.
Asko|Schönberg and the Belgian wind
ensemble I SOLISTI turn music into
a spatial experience.
Music as a highly exciting spatial experience: that is the monumental 1981 masterpiece Répons by French composer Pierre Boulez. With Répons, Boulez created a unique sound world in which the acoustic sounds of the musicians change and whirl through the hall thanks to the use of subtle electronics, which were revolutionary at the time. As such, different sound worlds glide over and through each other. Six soloists that are arranged around the ensemble lend an extra dimension to the movements in the music. A rare opportunity to experience this unique work live.
