Liquid Room V (Subtilior)

Rediscovering music

Ictus has thought out a marvellous concert scheme called Liquid Room: the ensemble plays new and other music in an informal atmosphere. You wander from one of four stages to another in the main Kaaitheater auditorium, equipped with a cardboard seat, you listen from close up or from a distance, go out for a drink in the bar, and come back when you like. And paradoxically enough this relaxed atmosphere generates a more attentive audience that is pleased to discover new work and observe the musicians.

   For this 5^th edition, Ictus is inviting three members of the Beauté Parfaite ensemble from Vienna, which specialises in music from the Middle Ages and the Renaissance: Thomas List (recorder), Theresa Dlouhy (vocals) and Eva Reiter (viol). Reiter is in fact also a composer and a first-class flautist and gamba-player. They will alternate new works and sophisticated polyphonic music from the 14^th century (called Ars Subtilior).

Programme

Ancient music by Francesco Landini, Philippotto de Caserta, Johannes Ciconia, Antonello de Caserta a.o., new music by Franck Yeznikian, Christophe Guiraud, a.o.
