Description
Vambola Krigul, a percussionist active as a soloist, chamber and orchestra musician, will focus on the work of female composers in this concert. The program is built around the works of Tatjana Kozlova-Johannes, with whom the musician has often collaborated over a long period, having greatly influenced each other in their creative development. Two works from Kozlova-Johannes’s work will be performed: “Ice Curves” (2012) and the premiere of “nothing, nothing, nothing”. In the case of both musicians, it can be said that they have sought their own sound from very alternative and experimental sources and have essentially made music “out of nothing”. This new work is also inspired by a similar spirit.

The concert will also feature Pinar Özaslan’s work “dans les ombres et la lumière je me débrouille toute seule”, which was created as part of a joint project between the EAMT percussion class and composition students led by Vambola Krigul. The original version of the piece used only one instrument – a medium-sized tam-tam. This time, the performance will feature a version that uses several different gongs. According to Vambola Krigul, the Arvo Pärt Centre hall is an ideal venue for such a piece with its silence, where a very large gong can be used, and the louder sounds of which reach the audience first as a physical sensation. Unfortunately, this would not be possible in a larger hall.

The third composition in the programme is Kaija Saariaho’s “Six Japanese Gardens”, which can be considered one of the most vivid solo works ever created for percussion instruments.
