Continuing the “companionship” begun in 2000, the festival presents three new works by Italian maestro Sciarrino, along with works by two younger composers. Thomalla’s work is conceptual and rigorous, whereas Combier displays a painter’s sensibility that takes the listener on a poetic journey.
Just as Sciarrino’s own Il legno e la parola.

Music

The music of Jérôme Combier opens up the way we listen to the details of the world and their subtle mutations. Poetic, and punctuated by mysterious outbursts, his music celebrates a plasticity which in turn shapes its instrumental and electronic elements. Strands, his latest work, sets up relationships between the animal and plant worlds, weaving spider's web-like threads between.
