description
The Ensemble Intercontemporain and its musical director Pierre Bleuse continue their monographs on the great figures of contemporary musical composition. After the multi-award-winning Ligeti, it is the composer Unsuk Chin who is celebrated here. Of Korean origin, she moved to Germany in the 1980s. Her music shines with an immediate sensuality, and the inexhaustible transformations of her instrumental polyphony produce unprecedented sound constellations. This programme presents her piece Gougalon (2009/12), which evokes the memory of the travelling amateur theatres of her native country, with deliberately offbeat instrumentation in six episodes. She presents it as ‘imaginary folk music that is stylised, fractured and only appears to be primitive.’ Chin titled her 2013 piece for large ensemble Graffiti. All sound registers are exploited in a colourful, lively and varied manner. ‘The musical language of Graffiti oscillates between roughness and refinement, complexity and transparency,’ says the composer. Her double concerto for piano and percussion completes this programme.
