Description du concert
Credits:
Amsterdam Sinfonietta,
Candida Thompson (direction, violin),
Nils Mönkemeyer (viola).
The living room: a familiar space, alive with warmth, where people come together, inspire each other, and recharge. In his work Living Room Music, composer John Cage instructed musicians to use household objects and architectural elements as instruments. Magazines, cardboard, books, the floor, the wooden frame of a window... The stage becomes a living room.
In the middle of the living room, a cellist and a viola player play back-to-back Janusgesicht by German composer Matthias Pintscher. The head of Janus has two faces, symbolising ambivalence and opposition. Viola player Nils Mönkemeyer showcases his virtuosity in a programme of contrasting works, from contemporary pieces to masterful Baroque concertos.
