Zagreb Philharmonic & MBZ: Concert Various

On the same evening, after the concert of MBZ's resident ensemble Klangforum Wien in the Small Hall of KDVL, an exceptional concert will be held in the Big Hall in program cooperation between MBZ and the Zagreb Philharmonic. The compositions of Franck Bedrossian and Olga Neuwirth, guest composers and mentors of the masterclass, will be performed. Mezzo-soprano Laura Muller will perform at both concerts and as a soloist in Bedrossian's program piano piece  Don Quixote , she will be joined by pianist Christoph Grund in the role of the sad knight-errant, and Sancho Panza will be played by percussionist Ivana Kuljerić Bilić. 

Ivana Kuljerić Bilić is an internationally recognized marimba virtuoso and versatile percussionist who regularly performs with European orchestras and at major international festivals. Christoph Grund is both a composer and an instrumentalist, who, as stated in his biography, knows very well how to give familiar music an aura of the new. At the same time, Grund is involved in providing the audience with security through his musical historical and theoretical expertise when he performs completely new, previously unknown works. The Zagreb Philharmonic will be directed by Yalda Zamani, one of the most passionate promoters and interpreters of contemporary music of her generation, about whom you can learn more in the MBZ story , created during her participation in the 31st Zagreb Music Biennale.

In addition to compositions by Franck Bedrossian, Olga Neuwirth and prominent domestic composer Dalibor Bukvić, the repertoire will also include compositions by Luna Alcalay, an Austrian composer, pianist and music pedagogue born almost a hundred years ago in Zagreb. The composition sphygmogram signifies pulsation: it is also a building element of the overall structure of the work; its rhythm, measure, tonality, musical form, etc. In her early avant-garde phase, Luna Alcalay composed in the spirit of serialism, having first encountered new music at summer courses in Darmstadt in the 1960s. She began to develop her most progressive ideas, that is, her own composition system, in the 1970s, and in the 1990s, when the composition sphygmogram was created, she reached her artistic peak, accompanied by the improvement of her already pronounced critical awareness of musical tradition; genres,

Among the orchestral works, Laura Muller will perform Recitations by the Greek-French avant-garde composer Georges Aperghis, who mostly created chamber compositions or compositions for experimental forms of performing arts (musical theater, opera, etc.). The score of his Recitations is written by hand, and so graphically condensed and hermetic - filled with graphs and different shapes - that the performer can barely navigate it, and at the same time it is very loosely shaped, so the performer has to rely heavily on his interpretive abilities.
