This concert is part of a new series: “The Emancipation of Re:Sonance – Five Austrian Masters Revisited”, which focuses on five of Austria’s most famous composers and the re-interpretation, re-imagination, and re-arrangement of some of their greatest works. The title of the series plays on Arnold Schönberg’s concept of the “Emancipation of Dissonance”.
Other events in the series will include performances by Sarah Weaver, Peter Evans and the Wet Ink Ensemble, and Franz Hackl.
Arrangements and reconstructions of Mozart’s compositions by Gene Pritsker, Dan Barrett, Dan Cooper, Patrick Grant, John Clark and Milica Paranosic will be perfromed, as well as pieces by composers of various periods, who were directly influenced by Mozart.,/br>
The concert will also feature performances of several newly commissioned pieces, that were directly inspired by Mozart's work. The evening will be further enlivened and informed by readings of Mozart's letters and impressions by his contemporaries, as well as by videos and pre-recorded sounds.
