I denne koncert fremfører fire solister fra det legendariske Ensemble Intercontemporain et ekstremt varieret program kurateret af sanger/performer Ly Tran, herunder en premiere på et nyt værk af Bertrand Chavarria-Aldretes, som er bestilt specielt til lejligheden. Fra solostykker for violin, cello, fagot og trombone til Chavarria-Aldretes kvartet, er dette en koncert, hvor publikum står over for den perfekte mulighed for at opleve hele spektret af de medvirkendes musikalitet i forskellige sammenhænge: Fra Nastaran Yazdanis celloværk Aayneh (persisk for spejl), der er inspireret af de mange spejle i hendes iranske barndomshjem, og som anvender spejlingsbegrebet som et kompositorisk princip, til Louis Aguirres tromboneværk, Oriki a Oggún – et musikalsk digt til den Orisha, eller ånd, der er kendt som jernguden Ogun – som afspejler komponistens dybe interesse for den traditionelle cubanske Santeria-religion.
Siden det blev grundlagt i 1976 af den legendariske franske komponist og dirigent Pierre Boulez har Ensemble Intercontemporain konsekvent været en del af den moderne musiks fortrop. Gennem tætte samarbejder med nogle af vor tids mest fremadsynede komponister er deres navn blevet synonym med musikalsk innovation. I 2022, da ensemblet blev tildelt den prestigefyldte Polar Music Prize, blev de af juryen beskrevet som "den moderne musiks Stradivarius".

In this concert, four soloists from the legendary Ensemble Intercontemporain perform a deeply varied program curated by singer/performer Ly Tran including a premiere of a new work by Bertrand Chavarria-Aldrete’s, which was commissioned specifically for the occasion. Ranging from solo pieces for violin, cello, bassoon, and trombone to Chavarria-Aldrete’s quartet, this is a concert in which the audience faces the perfect opportunity to experience the full range of the musicianship at work in different musical contexts: From Nastaran Yazdani’s cello piece Aayneh (Persian for mirror), which is inspired by the many mirrors of her childhood home in Iran, and which utilizes the concept of mirroring as a compositional principle, to Louis Aguirre’s trombone piece Oriki a Oggún – a musical poem to the Orisha, or spirit, known as Ogun, the God of iron – which reflects the composer’s profound interest in indigenous Cuban Santeria religions.
Since its founding in 1976 by legendary French composer and conductor Pierre Boulez, Ensemble Intercontemporain has continuously been part of the vanguard of contemporary music. Through tightknit collaborations with some of the most forward-thinking composers of our time, their name has become synonym with musical innovation. In 2022, when the ensemble was awarded the prestigious Polar Music Prize, they were described by the jury as “the Stradivarius of modern music”.
