HERMESensemble / Maya Fridman: Whispers Voor Ensemble Maya Verlaak (+2 More)

The leading Russian cellist Maya Fridman believes that music is magic. Naturally, she likes to transport her audience to that other, magical world. She thus makes every concert into an almost religious ritual. Together with the HERMESensemble, she invites you to discover the spiritual world of Anna Thorvaldsdottir and Lera Auerbach. In this way they bring to life Thorvaldsdottir’s In The Light of Air, a sea of sound with emotionally charged drones in which light sparkles. A special lighting concept is therefore called for. Lera Auerbach’s Dreammusic promises a dreamy, trance-like experience that continues to build on the legacy of the modernists such as Dimitri Shostakovich. Fridman and the HERMESensemble weave together Thorvaldsdottir’s and Auerbach’s compositions to create a captivating musical trip. This exciting voyage of discovery begins with mysterious whispering from the Flemish composer Maya Verlaak. In Whispers the human voice determines the evolution of the sound colours and the harmonies that are born during the ensemble performance.

Muziek is magie, vindt de Russische topcelliste Maya Fridman. Ze neemt het publiek dan ook graag mee naar die andere, magische wereld. Zo maakt ze van elk concert een bijna religieus ritueel. Samen met het HERMESensemble nodigt ze je uit om de spirituele wereld van Anna Thorvaldsdottir en Lera Auerbach te ontdekken. Zo wekken ze Thorvaldsdottirs In The Light of Air tot leven, een geluidszee met emotioneel geladen drones waarin licht schittert. Een speciaal lichtconcept kan dan ook niet ontbreken. Lera Auerbachs Dreammusic belooft dan weer een dromerige, trance-achtige ervaring die verder bouwt op de erfenis van modernisten zoals Dmitri Sjostakovitsj. Fridman en het HERMESensemble weven Thorvaldsdottirs en Auerbachs composities samen tot een meeslepende muzikale trip. Deze spannende ontdekkingsreis begint met mysterieus gefluister van de hand van de Vlaamse componiste Maya Verlaak. In Whispers bepaalt de menselijke stem de evolutie van de klankkleuren en de harmonieën die in het ensemblespel geboren worden.

Nederlands

La musique est magique, affirme l'immense violoncelliste russe Maya Fridman, qui aime entraîner ses auditeurs dans un autre monde, celui de la magie. Avec elle, chaque concert devient quasiment un rituel religieux. En compagnie du HERMESensemble, elle vous invite à explorer les univers spirituels d'Anna Thorvaldsdottir et de Lera Auerbach. Les musiciens font vivre ensemble In The Light of Air de Thorvaldsdottir, un océan sonore de bourdonnements chargé d'émotions, illuminé d'éclats. Un concept lumière adapté accompagne l'interprétation. Dreammusic de Lera Auerbach vous réserve un moment rêveur, proche de la transe, s'appuyant sur l'héritage de modernistes tels que Dmitri Chostakovitch. Fridman et le HERMESensemble marient les compositions de Thorvaldsdottir et d'Auerbach dans une balade musicale immersive. Le voyage d'exploration passionnant commence par les chuchotements mystérieux de la compositrice flamande Maya Verlaak. Dans son Whispers la voix humaine détermine l'évolution des timbres et des harmonies qui naissent du jeu d'ensemble.
