Ensemble Modern I Porträt Ruth Crawford Seeger: Songs

Fri, Sep 13, 2024, 20:00
Philharmonie Berlin, Chamber Music Hall (Berlin)
Ensemble Modern (Ensemble), David Niemann (Conductor), Nina Guo (Soprano), Amanda Becker (Soprano), Keren Motseri (Soprano), Paul Jeukendrup (Sound Director)
The composer Ruth Crawford Seeger was not only part of the ultramodernist movement that sought to investigate the possibilities of music beyond European traditions, she was also a researcher into the folkloric music of the USA and influenced by the Theosophists. A woman of her time, the fast-moving inter-war years, and yet so far ahead of them – Musikfest Berlin and Ensemble Modern dedicates a three-part concert portrait to her that enables her musical world to enter a dialogue with contemporaries and present-day composers.
