Program:
Gunnar Karel Másson [*1984] • Pansonicon 1.1 b [2010] 10'
George Crumb [*1929] • Black Angels. 13 Images from the Dark Land (Images I) for electric string quartet [1970] 20'

                 Intermission

Dongryul Lee [*1978] • Unending Rose [2017-19] 40’ UA

This programme pays tribute to fundamental questions about Time, Space and the forces we are all subjected to.

The shortest piece, Pansonicon, a made-up word derived from pan = total, encompassing and sonare = to sound, by the young Icelandic composer Gunnar Karel Másson asks for the placement of the musicians on the four sides of the hall and makes use of whispering voices and knocks. It sits between Lee's strictly acoustical sombre-„red“ opus magnum, a kind of musical rosary which employs algorithmic methods for the generation of hitherto unknown scales and harmonies – and Crumbs magical and dark classic for electric string quartet and a substantial number of additional instruments. With the line “in tempore belli” the score hints at its creation during the Vietnam war.

Kairos Quartet Recital with the Winners of the 2017 Vareler Composition Award

György Kurtág  •  Quartetto per archi op. 1 [1959]
Song Ah Park  •  Vier Bäume [Four Trees] <WP> - 1st Prize
Lorenzo Troiani  •  Sanguinante. In nomine [The Bloodthirsty One. In the name of] <UA> - 2nd Prize

Franz Schubert  •  Quartettsatz in c minor  D 703 ph [1820]
Georg Friedrich Haas  •  String Quartet No. 2 [1998]

Haas' string quartet No. 2 is the most-performed piece in the repertory of the Kairos Quartet approaching its 40th performance resp. production. Originally written for the Austrian Hagen Quartet who have since adopted the term "Haas intonation" for anything spectral it quickly became a staple composition for the Kairos Quartet who had already performed the much more demanding First String Quartet of 1997; incidentally, both works have been released with critical acclaim on CD (Edition zeitklang).

Haas on his Second: "My 2nd string quartet combines tonal, seemingly historicizing sound elements with microtonal shifts, the expansion and compression of time, and partly virtuoso, scintillating sounds. Time and again tradition shines through its fabric – but it is perceived as lost, distant, and dimmed...

This is our official debut gig. We perform on electric guitar (8string), cello and vocals. We, that is:

Johannes and Claudius von Wrochem

#vWro2 takes a guitar with too many strings attached, a cello that can’t keep its mouth shut,
and a number of small things to distract YOU and make us happy. We will certainly be surprised, you may be, too:
Music is a vast place, and we have been at a fair number of interesting spots in the past
