The Turkish zither meets the traditional string quartet and together they promise extraordinary and exciting sound experiences.

The Sonar Quartet’s composition commissions are funded by the Ernst von Siemens Music Foundation. The concert is sponsored by the German Music Council as part of the NEUSTART KULTUR program with funds from the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media.

IGNM Basel – Oumuamua for kanun and string quartet

09 Thursday Feb 2023

Posted by Dimitri Papageorgiou in commission, Festival, Premiers

≈ Leave a comment

Feb 9th, 2023 | 20:00. ignm Basel "EYÉO - New transcultural music for kanun and string quartet", Gare du Nord, Basel, Switzerland. 

https://www.garedunord.ch/…/eyeo-neue-transkulturelle…

In collaboration with the Greek kanunist Sofia Labropoulou, the Sonar Quartet is developing new commissioned works by Dimitri Papageorgiou and Stefan Pohlit, as well as its own framework program that continues to spin the aesthetic directions of the compositions on the borders of improvisation. Against the background of the arithmetic tradition of the Aegean region, the focus is now on the development of a microtonal playing practice, on which the modern kanun (descendant of the Pythagorean monochord) is based.


With Sofia Labropoulou, the ensemble focuses on a personality who has translated the musical heritage of the European and Aegean musical traditions into a living practice. Papageorgiou’s and Pohlit’s completely different perspectives are flanked within the program by a separate improvisation laboratory, which transforms the purely subjective perspectives of the compositional styles in the mirror of the equally subjective “interaction culture” of the ensemble. The framework program is also based in parts on composed works of the Turkish makam tradition, which the ensemble arranges and alienates independently before becoming independent with the theoretical foundations of the arithmetic tradition.

With

Sonar Quartet: Susanne Zapf (violin), Wojciech Garbowski (violin), Ian Anderson (viola), Konstantin Manaev (cello); Sofia Labropoulou (kanun)

Program

Works by Stefan Pohlit and Dimitri Papageorgiou

Info

The concert will be recorded by SRF2 and broadcast on 15.2.

Duration

60 minutes, no break

Premiere: Synecdochai – Greek National Opéra, Alternative Scene, Niarchos Cultural Center, Athens.

18 Saturday Dec 2021

Posted by Dimitri Papageorgiou in commission, Concerts, Premiers

A Greek Songbook, Alternative Stage

Premiere of “Synecdochai” for 15 performers (clarinet, trombone, marimba, harp, cello, yiayli tambour, oud, ney, qanun, Zarb, trumpet, electric guitar, double bass, piano, drums set).Kornilios Selamsis – conductor.

Commissioned by the Alternative Scene of the Greek National Opéra, Niarchos Cultural Center, Athens.

Program Note

The starting point for the work Syncedochai is the micro-history of the Notaras brothers’ rivalry over a woman (Makrygiannis, Memoirs), which evokes a series of interesting associations, referring to the various levels of conflict between Greek groups over the distribution of power. Rather than a description of these syncretic relationships, I aim at the structural level, creating superpositions of logical conflict through musical ideas of a heterogeneous nature. By avoiding a unified narrative and projecting alternative idioms of musical discourse, I attempt to highlight the fluidity of relationships between disparate materials and dispositions

The work is part of the Greek Songbook for the 200th anniversary of the Greek Revolution of 1821, edited by the composer Cornelios Selamsis. Over 30 creators from the fields of scholarly and popular music and performing arts engage in a series of bold musical constructions, songs and images.

The foundation of the project is the use of a series of anthologized historical materials (texts, scores or narratives) related directly or indirectly to persons and things of the era of the revolution – a fragmentary landscape made of lifeless ruins, around which the descendants build their contemporary superstructure.

Without, otherwise, any attempt to disguise its inherent contradictions, the musical material produced is aligned at the level of its sonic negotiation by the use of ten instruments of European and five of traditional music, in a confrontational scheme that aspires to render in a formal way the series of disparate currents that converged in the cultural and political melting pot of 1821.

The production is supported by a donation from the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF) [www.SNF.org] for the creation of the National Opera’s anniversary programme for the 200th anniversary of the Greek Revolution of 1821.

“d’ogne luce muto…” (2003) for piano [video/score]

02 Monday May 2016

Posted by Dimitri Papageorgiou in commission, Recording, video w/score

≈ Leave a comment

“d’ ogne luce muto…” (2003), for piano. Commissioned by SCI and ASCAP. Ioanna Polisoidis – piano.

Published by BabelScores (http://www.babelscores.com/catalog/instrumental/d-ogne-luce-muto)

Program notes:

The work consists of a limited number of brief chord progressions that are woven, rewoven, and occasionally juxtaposed to form longer static moments into the structure. The reduction of the sound elements, on the other hand, is intended to shift the listeners’ attention to the inner life of the piano – it’s resonance, so that the music exists rather in the space between the piano and the audience.
