Luciano Berio: Différences
Rehearsal & Performance / Recital-Lecture
Description
Luciano Berio celebrates his 100th birthday this year. But this is not the only reason why it is worth taking a look at his diverse oeuvre. As part of the Darmstadt Summer Course 2025, the focus will be on his composition Différences (1958-59) for five instruments (flute, clarinet, harp, viola, cello) and stereophonic tape, which was performed in Darmstadt in 1961 by the International Kranichstein Chamber Ensemble under Bruno Maderna’s direction.
As part of a recital lecture with Ulrich Mosch (Université de Genève) on the work and the aspect of “tape playback”, Différences will be performed twice (with two different instrumentations if there are enough musicians). The ensemble will be made up of performers registered for the Darmstadt Summer Course. The application modalities will be announced here in due course.
