Abstract

Katharina Rosenberger and Dzovinar Mikirditsian explore the themes of memory and remembrance in two new works. Together with the Geneva-based percussion collective Eklekto, they are creating a performance as an open «work-in-progress», one that takes a look behind the scenes between music theater, radio art and concert, and in which the audience becomes part of the action. Zurich composer Katharina Rosenberger was awarded the Swiss Music Prize 2023, among others, for her border-defying works. Dzovinar Mikirditsian, who comes from Beirut, composes both acoustic and electro-acoustic music. Inspired by literature, poetry and visual art, she explores different musical narratives.
