Concerts
Opening
Launch of ManiFeste-2012 and portrait of Philippe Manoury with the premiere of Echo-Diamónon.
Le voyage
"Say, what did you see?" Johannes Maria Straud, today's authoritative young Austrian composer, sets sail toward the "Terra Nova" of electronics, taking over Baudelaire's founding interrogations put to music.
Digital
The crossing of contemporary piano from Philippe Manoury's work Pluton to Nicolas Tzortzis' silent piano.
Ex Machina: Manoury - Berio
Musical thought today must be able to interact with the new technologies and to adapt itself creatively to every kind of space, exploring its virtualities and reshaping it acoustically. Luciano Berio
Arditti Quartet
Performed for the first time by the Arditti Quartet in October 2010 in Donaueschingen, Stringendo is the second string quartet written by Philippe Manoury.
Diotima - Contet
While Tensio is Philippe Manoury's most experimental work to date, a comprehensive survey of technology and poetry (writing of the synthesis, polyphony in heterogeneous times), fruit of many hours spent in the studios and laboratories, Over the sea is Édith de Chizy's first dive into the world of electronics.
Accroche Note
For its first Parisian concert the Accroche Note ensemble will present works by composers with whom they have a friendly relationship.
Inferno - Synapse
Inferno, the large work by Yann Robin is his personal reading of Dante's Divine Comedy.
Aléas
Zyklus (1959), by Karlheinz Stockhausen, connects traditional writing with graphical notation and offers freedom to the percussionist; he can choose the beginning and end points within this spiral work.
To Cry
Let me bleed is a form of requiem dedicated to the memory of Carlo Giuliani, a demonstrator killed during the Genoa Summit in 2001.
Thomas Adès Recital
Composer, director, pianist, but also professor, Thomas Adès performs not two, but four roles. Scholarly and expressive, his music hypnotizes and makes references to the past through its constructions and citations.
Workshop-concert Bach/Boulez
Performing Bach or Boulez is performing the "polyphonic" violin in a given acoustic or in a created acoustic, with the assistance - or not - of electronics in real-time.
- First part: Bach
Monday, June 18 - Second part: Boulez
Monday, June 18
Fête de la musique
Rendezvous with young creation: upon completion of the IRCAM Cursus program, Nicolas Mondon offers a dive into the universe of the prepared disklavier and electronics.
Au loin
The fragment-works by György Kurtág, aphorism of a lost language, are like messages in bottles cast in the direction of an alter ego; a poet and musician of another era.
Performance Master Classes
The performance master classes associate the repertoire of the 20th century with recent creation to exceed historic specializations. They offer a privileged access to a selection of mixed music works of reference, where the dimension of the sound projection is an integral part of the performance.
