Stroma presents Bold Sounds

Stroma

Celebrating what Stroma is all about: big, bold sounds and compelling musical experiences

Public Trust Hall

BOLD SOUNDS is a celebratory concert, representing what Stroma is all about: presenting bold, fresh music from Aotearoa alongside the best from the rest of the world.It’s a continuation of our vision of producing world-class new music projects in Aotearoa, promoting our key aims of artistic innovation, diversity (cultural, gender and generational), and fostering, championing and documenting new work from Aotearoa, in a way that few other ensembles in NZ can.BOLD SOUNDS includes four new works by New Zealand composers:Kerian Varaine’s AN DOOR, an immersive spatialised work in which an amplified string quartet merges with and expands the sound of compressed, distorted electric bass feedback to create an immense dronescape;Linda Dallimore’s Everything Feels Different Now, written in response to the emotional rollercoaster society experienced during the Covid-19 pandemic;Dylan Lardelli’s Glow Close, a complex, pulsating work of half-heard sounds;and Karlo Margetic’s homage to composers such as Stravinsky, Messiaen and Birtwistle, who are less interested in creating long build-ups and reductions in intensity, and more interested in creating permutations of static blocks of material, as a kind of architectural mosaic.Alongside these new works are two international works: UK composer Charlotte Bray’s Renga Miniatures, exploring the Japanese poetic form of a ‘renga’, with imaginative, colour chamber writing; and ‘Anaktoria’ by Iannis Xenakis, a work inspired by ‘love in all its forms’, but it is a raw, unbridled love, represented by Xenakis&#x27;s typically powerful, unbridled sonorities emanating from the ensemble.F﻿EATURING:H﻿amish McKeich - conductorPROGRAMME:LINDA DALLIMORE (NZ) — Everything Feels Different Now for ensemble (premiere)DYLAN LARDELLI (NZ) — Glow Close for ensemble (NZ premiere)CHARLOTTE BRAY (UK) — Renga Miniatures for ensemble (NZ premiere)KERIAN VARAINE (NZ) — AN DOOR for electric bass and ensemble (premiere)KARLO MARGETIĆ (NZ) — Bricks and Mortar for ensemble (NZ premiere)IANNIS XENAKIS (GR) — Anaktoria for ensembleThis concert supported by Creative New Zealand, Lilburn Trust, Stout Trust and the Wellington City Council.
