VOICES AND PIANO, scenes for voices and hand

Gwenaëlle Rouger, pianist and Fabienne Séveillac, mezzo-soprano, soloists from the new music ensemble soundinitiative, driven by a desire to shake up the traditional concert paradigm work on ‘Voices & Piano’, a program of sonic theatre exploring the junction between text, gesture and sound.  The inspiration for the program came about alongside the discovery of works by composers using new technologies (e.g. Stefan Prins, Simon Steen-Andersen and Daniel d’Adamo), and composers whose music incorporates re-readings and translations of contemporary texts (Steven Takasugi and Peter Ablinger).
