UN-SILENT PLACE / Stathis Anninos Trio & Cyprus String Quartet

Дополнительная информация о мероприятии:

The compositions narrated without being trapped in a narrow descriptive framework, the Unconscious, Dream, Agony, Love, Harmolypi (joyful sadness), in conclusion the contrasts that define human nature.

The music evolves with a cinematic feel through intense sound "images" and mixes the rich timbres and lyricism of strings with the dynamic sound of a Piano Trio, creating unpredictable and interesting admixtures from a wide range of Classical music from Baroque till the 20th century, while through improvisations, it expands by "conversing" with Jazz, Third Stream, Minimalism and World Music. The cinematic atmosphere that distinguishes the music encourages the listener to reconstruct his or her own images and indulge in an adventurous sonic journey.
