Shadow.Play Margherita Berlanda – accordion
PAGH-PAAN, FANTECHI/OLIVEROS, ODEH-TAMIMI et.al.
Margherita Berlanda, one of the most exciting accordionists of her generation, is this year making her debut in Hall. The concert, in which she reveals the multifarious nuances of her instrument, could be based on ancient East Asian wisdom: Nothingness contains and surrounds the entirety of existence. Transcendence. (Younghi Pagh-Paan)
The subtitle of her piece Ne Ma-Um (Korean for My Heart) – my heart is the tranquillity of the evening, gesture of a breathing hand – is a quotation from the poem with the same title by H.C. Artmann and refers to the shadow that connects all the pieces in very different ways, including Tslalim (Shadow) by the Israeli-Palestinian composer Samir Odeh-Tamimi with its rich, dynamic soundscape, Manuela Kerer’s spatial, theatrical In the Depths of my Being, and a tribute to the great American composer, accordionist and electronic music pioneer Pauline Oliveros, and much else.
