THE PERSPECTIVE OF DISAPPEARANCE
Performer: Amy Horvey, trumpet
In "The Perspective of Disappearance" the solo trumpet is used as a laboratory for a performative journey through the architecture of the instrument's acoustic identity - an attempt to rethink the concept of "trumpet" from a different perspective, farther from the cultural idea of "what the trumpet is" and closer to its acoustical properties. Exciting new repertoire by composers from both Canada and abroad create an engaging concert experience including Giacinto Scelsi's Quattro Pezzi per Tromba, a work by Cecilia Arditto inspired by the notebooks of Leonardo da Vinci, and a theatrical work by Canadian composer Ryan Purchase based on an anecdote by Russian humorist Daniil Kharms.
Program:
Giacinto Scelsi: Quattro Pezzi per Tromba (1956)
Cecilia Arditto: Mùsica Invisible (2005)
Isak Goldschneider: Cartoon Demon (2006)
Ryan Purchase: Apparatus Inconcinnus (2006)
