Föreningen Kammarmusik NU, Judisk kultur i Sverige & Samtida Musik present Transcending Boarders KammarensembleN - Jacob Kellermann - Christian Karlsen works by José M. Sanchez-Verdù - Djuro Zivkovic - Lisa Streich Recorded in May 2021 at Konstakademien, Stockholm, the concert is presented in two parts: Part 1: Thursday, August 12 at 20:00 Djuro Zivkovic & Lisa Streich Part 2: Sunday, August 15 at 16:00 José Maria Sanchez-Verdù About the project: Earlier this spring, on a rainy day in May, KammarensembleN with conductor Christian Karlsen and soloist Jacob Kellermann met at Konstakademin to perform and present three works by three composers, inspired by their cultural backgrounds and by the idea of transcending borders. Inspired in his musical language by the ancient Spanish culture with its mixture of Arabic, Jewish and Christian roots, José M. Sanchez-Verdù takes etchings by Francesco Goya as a starting point in his ensemble work Lux et tenebris. Judisk kultur i Sverige has previously commissioned from José M. Sanchez-Verdú the piece Libro del Jardin de arena .Its world premiere was presented at Berns in April 2015 as part of the project Jewish Culture Season - Minorities in Dialogue (Judisk Vår). Swedish-Serbian Djuro Zivkovic had his international breakthrough when he was awarded the prestigious Grawemayer Award in 2014 and has since been performed by orchestras like the New York Philharmonic and Chicago Symphony. Citadel of Love is his most recent work and takes his inspiration from the 10th century byzantine mystic Nikitas Stithatos. It was also recently awarded the Järnåker Award. Since receiving the Ernst von Siemens Composers' Prize, Swedish composer Lisa Streich has become one of the most prominent composers in the European music scene. In her work Zucker for motorized ensemble she explores the concept of sweetness and the its place in contemporary music and art.

Recording of my work 'Poem', premiered by KammarensembleN. The material in this work is generated from a sound-to-MIDI program, programmed in Max/MSP. Sixteen words are translated from their original sound files into MIDI. The material generated from the MIDI is then arranged into the music. Sixteen steps for each word is also incorporated into the program. These steps go from 100%, where the MIDi is at its highest resolution, to 6,25% where the MIDI is at its lowest resolution. These steps generated variety into the material and thus created more room for musical diversity into the music. What I have meant to do is a translation from the human voice to music, where these voices no longer have to communicate through themselves, but through the music that they directly create. This is the result.
