  FLASH - Zeitgenössische Kammermusik für Klarinette und Gesang

  20:00Thessaloniki, Greece, Yeni Mosque

  Flash – Contemporary Music at Yeni Mosque

  Saturday October 14, 2023, 20:30
  Nina Janßen-Deinzer, clarinet & contrabass clarinet,  Johanna Greulich, soprano

  The concert is co-organized by the Contemporary Music Lab (CML), the Goethe Institut Thessaloniki and the Municipality of Thessaloniki. It is part of the Contemporary Music Lab project which concerns the organization of concerts/performances of contemporary music in historical monuments of Thessaloniki. The present concert takes place in the Yeni Tzami, in a place with special acoustics and obvious cultural connotations (East-West). The use of such unique (also in terms of acoustics) historic monuments for concerts/performances functions to the benefit of the monuments themselves – in terms of their prominence – but also of the creative imprint of the city’s cultural continuity.

  The concert features two important German performers of contemporary music, Nina Janßen-Deinzer, one of the leading clarinetists of her generation, and soprano Johanna Greulich with a broad and varied career in the field of contemporary music and music theatre.

  Works will be presented for voice and clarinet or double bass clarinet – an impressive and hard-to-find due to its size and range instrument.

  The works that Nina Janßen-Deinzer and Johanna Greulich will perform are by Georges Aperghis, one of the most important composers of our time, Cinq Couplets for voice and contrabass clarinet (1988), Luciano Berio, one of the leading figures of the post-war music, Sequenza III for solo voice (1966), Wolfgang Rihm, one of Germany’s most well-known post-war composers, Zu singen for soprano and clarinet (2006) and Arnulf Herrmann, Rockabye for soprano and clarinet/contrabass clarinet (2020).

  Finally, the concert presents works by three composers from Thessaloniki, Michalis Lapidakis traum(a) for soprano and contrabass clarinet (premiere, 2023), Dimitris Maronidis, Nexus II for contrabass clarinet and electronics (premiere, 2023) and Dimitris Papageorgiou, Debout version II for contrabass clarinet (2023).
