CUBE Lecture mit Marco Fusi

Viola d’amore and new music

Viola d'amore is a very resourceful and valuable instrument in new music. It's malleability leads composers to define the very nature of the instrument in accordance with their research paths. It's an undefined instrument, open to be moulded and shaped by each individuality. During the lecture history, repertoire, technical characteristics, and new approaches to the viola d'amore will be examined.

Open CUBE - loops and strings

mit Marco Fusi und Davide Gagliardi

The concert is divided in two parts. In the first half we will present Bernhard Lang’s DW 6a for violin/viola and audio/video loop generator (2006); thanks to the suggestions of the first performer (Dimitrios Polisoidis) and of B. Lang himself the piece will be performed again in the very place where it was conceived. The second half of the program will feature pieces of Italian composers (somewhat connected with Graz - living there, studying there) for viola d'amore and electronics; all these pieces are part of a project devoted to the rediscovery of the hidden qualities and resources of the instrument within the music of our time.
