Echopoems

In this full-length world premiere, which was commissioned by ö! several dialogues play a central role:
The source material of this composition for soprano, speaker and ensemble by the Swiss-Italian composer Giorgio Tedde is a series of poems by the two Zurich authors Jeanine Osborne and Martin Kunz. Each poem was written as a response to the previous one, alternately by Osborne and Kunz. Tedde will bring a selection of them into musical dramaturgical form and the writing protagonists will now become the duo of soprano and narrator, various instrumental duos, but also the involvement of two independently moving loudspeakers, which Tedde developed in cooperation with the ZhdK under the direction of Peter Färber.
