About

Mauricio Kagel has transformed the role of musicians in contemporary art. His works, which are difficult to categorise, expanded the scope of action of those involved. Based in Cologne in the late 1950s, Kagel assimilated the post-serial models of the time, transforming them and creating his own style. “Hallelujah” is one of his most important choral works, exploring both voice and body in a vibrant way. Within the scope of the Greatest Double Concertos, we will present a work by Jean Barraqué for clarinet, vibraphone and ensemble that highlights the soloists’ shyness against the affirmative and emphatic writing of the ensemble. If Barraqué is positioned in the wake of integral serialism, the traditional musical practices of Bosnia-Herzegovina and Northern Macedonia set the tone for Vinko Globokar. The reminiscence of how melodies and timbres intertwine boosts the free exploration of sounds, in an avant-garde work rooted in tradition.
