« gather collective » gather radio hour: 24 Stunden Komponistinnen Piano Marathon Vol. 2
In this edition of gather’s radio show, we are excited to host pianist Fidan Aghayeva-Edler to discuss and listen to some of the music that will appear in the upcoming project “24 Stunden Komponistinnen Piano Marathon Vol. 2” she is creating with singer Nina Guo and performer Mereike Hein this Saturday May 17 from 11:00am at St. Elisabeth Kirche. The project is a long durational performance of over 300 works by 115 women composers across 24 hours that will also includes literary and discursive texts from the avant-gardes of the 20th and 21st centuries. Together, the three performers will form a feminist performance space that enters into an intimate dialogue between composers/artists, their works and the audience, a dialogue which includes the “performative exploration of principles such as pause – melody – repetition – solo and duo – dissonance and harmony, but also questions of artistic perfection, authenticity and staging, female traditions in art, solidarity and care feminist practice in the artistic world.”
