The exhibition “Female View” at Kunsthalle St. Annen focuses on the unjustly neglected fashion photography of female photographers. As a counterpart to this exhibition, which focuses on women’s views of the female body, the programme of this very special concert of sound images features exclusively works by female composers. Music by the older French composers Lili Boulanger and Claude Arrieu will be heard, as well as works by contemporaries Ester Mägi from Estonia, Jacqueline Fontyn from Belgium, Barbara Heller from Germany, Violeta Dinescu from Romania and Onutė Narbutaitė from Lithuania. Diana Čemerytė, also from Lithuania, is composer in residence at this season’s Klangbilder concerts. Her “Canticle of the Sun” in the version for violoncello and piano will receive its world premiere this evening. Violeta Dinescu’s “Evening Prayer” will also receive its world premiere in the version for solo violin.
In cooperation with the Kunsthalle St. Annen
