Concert:*Micrographia*

*Micrographia* is an expanded four-hand piano duo conceived by Alvise Sinivia and Frédéric Blondy. Inspired by *Terra Forma*, the piece treats the grand piano as a sonic territory to be explored. Through microphones, interior playing, and extended techniques, the performers shift perspectives and transform the instrument’s acoustic space into an immersive and ever-changing sonic landscape.

Concert
Darker than Black

A flutist, violist, and composer, Eva Reiter creates a dialogue between the melodies of John Dowland and the works of contemporary composers such as Francesco Filidei, Jürg Frey, and Bernhard Gander. Spanning the Renaissance and the present, the Baroque and the Romantic sensibility, the clear voice, guitars, and viola da gamba weave a delicate tapestry of enchanting miniatures.

Concert
Falling Silently

Created using audio and visual archival material, *Tomber Sans Bruit* isloosely inspiredby the industrial and social crisis experienced by Vivarte, the former French leader in the apparel industry. On stage, employees and executives engage in dialogue with a chorus of loudspeakers and reenact the echoes of a foretold downfall, blending their voices with electronic music and the trombone.
