Lincoln Theater Damariscotta

Join us for an extraordinary evening of contemporary music with Franck Ollu & Krassimir Sterev at the Munich Residence, Herkulessaal, on Friday, 12 May 2023, at 8:00 pm. This concert, part of the Bavarian Radio's esteemed musica viva series, promises to be a night of world and German premieres that push the boundaries of orchestral music.

The evening will feature the world premiere of "Mary/Transcendence after Trauma" by Australian composer Liza Lim. This piece, commissioned by Bavarian Radio’s musica viva series, explores themes of female spirituality and is the second part of the Annunciation triptych focusing on Mary's Visitation by the Angel and the Passion Play. The music is characterized by its incantatory and divinatory qualities, with archaic sound fragments that promise to transport the audience.

Also premiering is Francesca Verunelli's accordion concerto "Accord, Chord and Tune," a remarkable synthesis of orchestral sounds and the unique timbres of the accordion, performed by Krassimir Sterev. This work further exemplifies the innovative spirit of the musica viva series.

The program will also include the German premiere of Pascal Dusapin's "Morning in Long Island for large orchestra," a kaleidoscopic orchestral fantasy inspired by the natural and ambient sounds of Long Island, New York.

Under the baton of conductor Franck Ollu, with Krassimir Sterev on accordion, the Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks will bring these captivating works to life. This concert is a must-attend for lovers of contemporary music and those looking to experience the cutting edge of orchestral performance.

Tickets are available online via the BRticket-Webshop. Don't miss this opportunity to be part of a night where music transcends the ordinary and enters the realm of the extraordinary.

Think “performance art” as you approach this play-oriented re-encountering of the space where live music is made, concocted by the team of boundary-less composer inti-figgis-vizueta and Jay Campbell, the remarkable cellist whose repertoire knows no bounds.
