VOCATIONS

VOCATIONS - Reimagining the Lied

What can a song be today? How can the European tradition of the art song be reimagined - from a multilingual perspective and by artists working at the boundaries of poetry and music? In the Vocations series, poetry and music come together: composers and poets from the Berlin and Hamburg scene collaborate and develop art songs for world premieres on Oct. 26 and Dec. 21 at Heimathafen Neukölln.

Poet and prose writer Avrina Prabala-Joslin (born 1992 in Tamil Nadu) and composer and singer Sol-i So (born 1990 in South Korea) jointly developed the cycle after you, i learned to plant a poem, grow a song for soprano and percussion, which will be premiered by Angelika Luz and Rie Watanabe. The song cycle for tenor and live electronics entitled Animita by poet and performance artist Felipe Saéz Riquelme (born 1986 in Chile) and multimedia composer VictorPiano (born 1991 in Chile) will be interpreted by Francisco Huerta and VictorPiano.
