« Élégies is a work for hyper-organ and voice. Inspired by the Duino Élégies of Rainer-Maria Rilke, this piece attempts to explore the continuum between the acoustic and the synthetic, as well as between inner and outer worlds. By calling upon the sonic icons of the church, such as the sounds of bells, footsteps, and the opening of doors and the keys that open them, I hope to pay hommage to the vast heritage of this space that has nurtured me during the creative process. — Kjel Sidloski. »
Entrance is free.
The concert starts with the presentation of the project and creative process, at 6:30 pm.
