Cluster #34 100 Jahre Luigi Nono: Fragmente – Stille, an Diotima
On the occasion of the 100th birthday of Luigi Nono, Labor Neunzehn is delighted to welcome the ensemble mosaik as a string quartet for the Cluster Series 2024 in a double event with experimental film and music.
In “Fragmente – Stille, an Diotima” (1979/80), Luigi Nono inserted 47 fragments from poems by Friedrich Hölderlin, 12 of them from Diotima, into the score in 52 places, not as references intended for verbal performance, but as “silent songs from other spaces, from other skies, so as not to let go of hope in a different way”. An intimate dialogue between music, poetry and the spirit of utopia. The film screening is curated by Valentina Besegher.
Luigi Nono was active in the musical avant-garde of the 50s and 60s and is known for his political commitment as well as for his music and his innovative use of text, voice, scenic actions and focus on listening. Artistically shaped at the Darmstadt Academy of Music, Nono, together with other important voices of post-war music such as Karlheinz Stockhausen, Pierre Boulez and Bruno Maderna, belonged to a generation of composers whose works redefined the canon of musical language for years to come and opened up new worlds of sound and musical horizons.
Cluster is a new-music series devoted to the investigation of sound and notation, which provides musicians and composers with an exchange area in Berlin, at the crossroad of compositional and performance practices.
