Georges Aperghis (* 1945)
"Sextet - The Origin of Species
Was the world created by an all-powerful God, or did it develop and blossom gradually through evolution? Franco-Greek composer Georges Aperghis does not seek to resolve the tension between evolutionary theory and belief in a creator, a tension that is still present today. On the contrary, he shows imagination. In collaboration with librettist François Régnaud, he takes Charles Darwin's famous, long-controversial text on the origin of species and combines it with intoxicating, ritualistic music, evoking humanity's deep-seated need for trance and devotion.
SoloVoices performs the work of composer Georges Aperghis.
The evolution of life is translated into music, to be as close as possible to our sensations.
Another concert takes place on Saturday, March 9, at 2pm. Find out more.
