"Architectonics of a Crystal Soul", premiere in Melbourne
Premiere by Sophia Kirsanova and the Syzygy ensemble at the Fine Arts and Music at Melbourne - VCA & Conservatorium The Ian Potter Southbank Centre, Melbourne.
"Architectonics of A Crystal Soul" is as a large scale constellation, focusing on the violin and creating synergy between the solo and the ensemble of flute, clarinet, violoncello and piano. The musical idea of the "Architectonics of Crystal Soul" is a sonic environment of imaginary city, where artefacts of different ages and cultures meet. The soundscape is experienced and perceived by a "crystal soul" or the solo violin - alive, feeling, pulsating, breathing, fragile and strong, present in different ages and parts of the planet.
