SOLO FOR DRUMS (AND VIOLIN)

The members of the philharmonic percussion group are usually "hidden" behind the orchestra. The chamber concert is an opportunity for them to move closer to the audience and make their performances and – sonically and visually extremely varied and interesting – instrument sets "visible".
The independent repertoire of the drummers was formed only in the course of the last century - this is also reflected in the program of the concert, which includes attractive compositions from the 20th and 21st centuries. We are waiting for the ritually conceived piece 24 Loops, in which the French composer Pierre Jodlowski (1971) plays with the layering of individual parts using a looper, as well as the composition Psalmus niger by the Brno author Miloslav Ištvan (1928–1990), inspired by African music, two minimalist works by Baltic artists - Estonian Arvo Pärt (1935) and Lithuanian Raminta Šerkšnytė (1975) – and Concerto for Violin and Percussion Orchestra by the American Lou Harrison (1917–2003), a unique, perhaps the only piece of its kind, in which the Brno Philharmonic and Orchestral the FB academy will be joined by the unique virtuoso Milan Paľa with a solo violin.
