From Impressionism to Today’s Music…

with Trio ERÄMAA (piano, violin, clarinet)

Debussy’s La Mer & Contemporary Creations Sunday, March 1st, 4:00 PM

We are delighted to invite you to our next concert at the Salon Bugrane, a musical journey bridging Impressionism and contemporary creation.

Programme

Claude Debussy – La Mer Unpublished arrangement by Yorick de Bruycker

Contemporary creations by Kris De Baerdemacker, Jean‑Pierre Deleuze and Jinwook Jung

About the programme

Built around La Mer by Claude Debussy—one of the major works of musical Impressionism—here transcribed for Trio Erämaa by Yorick de Bruycker, this programme offers a rich palette of colours (echoed by Monet’s painting) as well as several premières:

• Kris De Baerdemacker, a Ghent‑based composer active in contemporary, experimental and electroacoustic music. His work reflects a constant curiosity for new forms of writing and for the relationship between composer, performer and technology. Absence was recently premiered during a concert in homage to Luciano Berio and his celebrated Folk Songs.
• Jean‑Pierre Deleuze, an eclectic composer and professor at the Royal Conservatory of Mons, whose work explores a humanistic quest for the sacred and the ineffable. Le silence de la Paix, originally written for shakuhachi, koto and shō, is presented here in a new transcription for trio. The piece was composed to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the bombings in Japan.
• Jinwook Jung draws inspiration from the poetry of Yi Sang (1910–1937), one of Korea’s most important experimental poets. Born in Seoul in 1994, Jung belongs to the young generation of composers active on the European contemporary scene. His artistic path spans Korea, Germany and France, where he studied composition at the Paris Conservatoire (CNSMDP) with Gérard Pesson.
