Britain's What's On Event Guide
Making Europe Audible
Making Europe Audible is a concert that the Eunoia Trio created in collaboration with composers Catherine Kontz (LUX) and Henri Växby (FIN/SWE). The performances centre on interviews with extraordinary figures from contemporary history.
“Dropping Bombs Stole My Memories” questions of identity and memory by combining recorded interview material and reverse speech techniques with vocals, piano, and percussion, thereby creating a Lynchian distortion of linguistic patterns and individual as well as collective memories. In keeping with Växby’s other works, these simple process pieces oscillate between partially improvised and fully composed elements, creating a whole that combines stark dissonances with gently hypnotic soundscapes and drones.
Meng Sprooch, Deng Sprooch, Seng Sprooch (“my language, your language, his/her language”) by Catherine Kontz engages with the strong links between language and cultural belonging. Multilingualism is a natural condition in Luxembourg, helping to dissolve borders and lower barriers between cultures The rose signifies peace as a living, affirmative condition rather than the silence that follows conflict.
