Georges Aperghis
Composer
Born in Athens in 1945. Georges and has lived in Paris since 1963. His work is notably characterized by a questioning about languages and the meaning. His compositions, whether instrumental, vocal or for stage, explore the borders of the intelligible, he likes to create twisted tracks which allow him to keep active the listener (stories emerge but are suddenly refuted). Aperghis’ music is not strictly linked to any dominant musical aesthetics of the contemporary musical creation but follows on his century by a dialogue with other forms of art and an extreme open-mindedness to the other. This otherness is combined with innovation when he includes the technology to his performances. Aperghis works closely with group of interpreters who are entirely part of the creative process.
