A cycle of contemporary composed music
Zvokotok focuses on contemporary composed music. It is
defined by the research of compositional procedures and often linked to music
technology. It encourages and merges unique sound languages and performative innovativeness
and moves contemporary compositions into new spatial and concert forms.
Zvokotok connects established
institutional spaces of artistic activity with premises of the dynamic action
of NGOs. It implements and maintains unburdened space of
dialogue and overcome the artificial distinction between areas and venues of
artistic activity.
The program in 2022 was conceived by Steven Loy.
The series entitled Chiaroscuro presents five concerts on the theme of light, both literally and metaphorically: light as a medium and mediator of story and emotion, light as knowledge, light as intuition, light as a literal and spiritual guide, light as optimism ...
The performers are members of the ensemble Neofonía (composed of local musicians with a passion for new music) and guest artist Małgorzata Walentynowicz, a pianist specializing in new music who lives / works in Gdańsk and Cologne.
The program was conceived by:
2019 - Primož Trdan
