Chambres d’à côté
A concert with compositions by Philippe Boesmans whose new work, Chambres d’à côté, commissioned by La Monnaie opera house, Klarafestival and Bozar for the Tana Quartet.
An evening concert dedicated to Philippe Boesmans who will be presenting for the occasion, Chambres d’â côte, written especially for the young string quartet named Tana – short for Antananarivo – a name which evokes venturing abroad and discovery. Inspired by one of Debussy’s studies, Sur Mi evokes the idea of recognition and references, and travels beyond musical convention in a refractory age with all forms of repetition. Written for an appropriately nostalgic instrumental team, Ornamented Zone tests the artistic limits of arrangement. With the Piano sextet, Philippe Boesmans deliberately elected to compose with a conventional instrumental arrangement, giving form to particular colours of contemporary music.
