Event
Piano+ 2006: A Tribute to Luc Ferrari
Fri, November 24 – Sun, November 26, 2006
- Location
- Lecture Hall
- Cube
Luc Ferrari, the extraordinarily versatile composer (radio plays, audio tape and instrumental works, films, »Musique anecdotique«, installations), a former student of Alfred Cortot, has a fascinating relationship to the piano.
Ferrari, who was born in Paris in 1929 and died on 22 August 2005, was in many ways more experimental than any other composer. »One could say that I experimented with aesthetic situations and with new, acoustic possibilities just as much in my instrumental music as in my electroacoustic compositions«. (From an interview with T. Böhme-Mehner on 2 August 2005 in the studio »Post-Billig«.)
»Piano+« will take the plus sign in the title as an occasion to look intently at parts of Ferrari’s oeuvre. Also presented along with piano pieces, both with and without electronics and with and without additional instruments from various periods (1955–2004), are several key electroacoustic works.
During the festival, several of Luc Ferrari’s films will be shown in the listening room of the ZKM | Media Museum.
