Presentation
Ensemble Linea invites us to explore the vast Slavic world and the equally vast imaginations of artists from the region. This varied program of ensemble and instrumental works offers both familiar compositions and more radical conceptual pieces. Aleksandra Dzenisenia’s cimbalom takes folk music off the page and through different melodies explores the notions of rootedness and uprootedness in a region marked by displacement and migration. The Renaissance flute and theorbo interact with modern-day instruments to echo this geographical and temporal diversity. The current conflict is reflected in the program, which includes À l’air libre, a piece written by Frédéric Durieux in protest at the imprisonment of the Belarusian musician and activist Maria Kalesnikava, winner of the Václav Havel Human Rights Prize (see Talks, p26). Durieux will continue to compose the piece until she is released.
