Throughout the Xxth century avant-garde in the broadest sense of the word has always been attractive to general public and to artists, who almost inevitably become the newsmakers of our time. The Studio for New Music approaches the secret of this vitality and attractivity of avant-garde art, focusing on the synthetic, additive nature of the music. Fashion on Jazz? Avant-garde is willing to accept this genre. Emerging Rock movement? And here again avant-garde embraces the style. Folk and World music? Here you are! Five concerts of the series represent five pluses “+” for everyone interested in the history and sources of avant-garde.
Works by Padding, Janssen, Stravinsky, Andriessen, Pärt, De Leeuw, Gubaidulina, Schöllhorn, Romitelli, Murray, Ligeti, Zappa, Berio, Sysoev, Reich, Glass a.o.

Pierrot Lunaire 2.0
This project is a collaboration between Studio for New Music and German singer Caroline Meltzer.
The paradigmatic cycle of Arnold Schönberg 'Pierrot Lunaire' (1912) will be introduced in whole new light, in dialogue with a work by little-known German composer Max Kowalski, whose cycle bearing the same title was composed about the same time. Both cycles are stylistically very different; the avant-garde impulse of Schönberg is opposed by the salon-like interpretation by Kowalski. The two works are confronted to outline the variety of styles in German music of early 20th century, but there are commonalities in the life of these two composers: they were both forced to move from Germany in the 30th.
The other works have been written by our contemporaries and to a certain extent refer to either instruments or aesthetics of Schönberg, connecting the past and the present of contemporary German music.
The concert will be held with the support of Goethe-Institute in Moscow.
