Overview
In the coming weeks we will be releasing new films from Psappha’s live performances archive.
Our next YouTube Premier is György Ligeti’s Aventures & Nouvelles Aventures – both touching and comic, the three singers on stage are three people alone in their little universe, unaware of their accompanying instrumentalists and unaware of their audience: they lack the confident reciprocity of performers within a shared tradition, and in that lack – which is actualised in a different way by their lack of words – they place themselves at a moment of crisis in western musical culture.
This Live performance was filmed at the Stoller Hall on 27th September 2018.
Join us at 20:30 BST to chat with the soloists and the musicians and to watch the premier of this new film together. Here’s the link: https://youtu.be/Z7hiwapw9t8
See you on Monday!
