Chaconne for piano trio and electronics is getting a performance at the State Conservatoire of Thessaloniki on 29th of November 2023. Herta Hansena (piano) and Eriks Kirsfelds (Violoncello) who are visiting AUTh with Erasmus are collaborating with Kostas Kampantais (Violin) to present a concert of contemporary music.
The piece was composed during the first half of March 2020 in Thessaloniki after a poem by Gundega Smite and Dimitris Maronidis. The form of the work is a Chaconne in the sense that an imaginary sound of a glass breaking, is repeatedly reflected in all musical gestures, creating a sonic environment where small sonic fragments are generated, cracked, and splintered constantly.
