Memories in Music II ensemble mosaik

Concert

The concert given by ensemble mosaik presents the work of Walter Zimmermann as a work of memory and features compositions in which Zimmermann refers to pilgrimage routes to Sarajevo and Bosnian folk music as well as to musical cultures he documented on his travels. Armenian composer Petros Ovsepyan recalls the language lost through migration and the Genocide by embedding sound documents of the Armenian language from the Sound Archives of the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin in his composition. Annette Schmucki arranges favourite songs of the ensemble musicians. Annesley Black’s composition is about the reindeer areas in the home territory of the Vuntut Gwitchin in northern Canada, which are endangered by oil production and climate change, and about a fiddle culture that has developed there. In his compositions, Leopold Hurt processes the sounds of Alpine folk music, using shellac records from Lower Austria and Bavaria as acoustic objets trouvés.
