New Friday is a concert series for the curious listener eager to explore the innovative music of our time. The ensemble Lipparella constantly initiates new collaborations to explore the intersection between the sound world of Baroque instruments and the musical language of our own time. The group often works with singers and instrumentalists in various projects. At this concert, the focus is on the vocal, with soprano Alexandra Büchel – one of Sweden’s leading interpreters of contemporary music – as soloist.
Composer Jennifer Walshe is also a vocalist and frequently performs both her own works and those of others. Her music is performed around the world, and she currently serves as Professor of Composition at the University of Oxford. In her Something that is Continuous, a soaring soprano line floats above a delicate tapestry of sound. The programme also features music by British composer Christopher Fox, whose Musica su quattro dimensioni explores harmonic depth and rapid melodic lines.
Composer and cellist Chrichan Larson is a well-known figure in the European contemporary music scene, both as a performer and creator. His music is elegant, often tinged with impressionistic colours and delicate yet intense melodic textures. In his Czarne latawce (Black Kites), the vocal line shifts between spoken-word style and traditional singing. The work is based on texts by the Polish Nobel laureate Czesław Miłosz.
