Bianca Bongers / Ernst Spyckerelle
Intercontinental Ensemble draws a line between different sound worlds. Female artists from diverse backgrounds tell their musical stories.
Bianca Bongers’ “Collage of an octahedron” is a meditative piece that effortlessly combines harmonies by Pärt with rhythms by Stravinsky.
Clara Schumann wrote her 3 Novels after meeting Brahms. Originally for piano, IntEns’ arrangement brings these beautiful pieces with even more timbres.
Aregnaz Martirosyan’s “Emotional Diversity” is a confrontational and raw look at the conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan, where family and friends are sent to the front.
With “September I”, Sarah Neutkens creates a musical walk through the golden colors of an autumn forest.
The final piece is the nonet by the French composer Louise Farrenc. After the premiere, she received a pay increase from the Paris conservatory. Not a day too soon, because in the nineteenth century she received less pay than her male colleagues for the same work.
All these different stories, told by the nine musicians of IntEns.
