Constellations of Being Three revolves around the question of playing music together, focusing particularly on the nuances of performing as a trio. The pieces for organ, saxophone and piano that the Grapes trio will perform also create a space to meditate on music’s ‘energy to point out into our everyday life’.
The concert programme includes Sophie L. Stone Postcard-sized pieces (2020) a work to be played ‘together or alone’ that convenes subtle changes and fragile sounds, a new work by Eva-Maria Houben devising a common voice able to welcome ‘deviations from a precise synchrony’ and a trio by Antoine Beuger that collides, with quiet and long tones, a poem by XIX French writer Stéphane Mallarmé and a Western by Hollywood American filmmaker Sam Peckinpah. The Grapes trio are Eva-Maria Houben (Germany) and Huw Morgan (UK) on piano and organ as well as Artur Vidal (UK/France/Spain) on alto saxophone.
The concert includes a break and drinks will be available.
