Concert: Talea Ensemble

The 15th International Pharos Contemporary Music Festival opens with the Cyprus debut of the remarkable Talea Ensemble. Heralded by the New York Times as “a crucial part of the New York cultural ecosphere”, Talea is the recipient of the Chamber Music America / ASCAP Award for Adventurous Programming, having brought to life at least 50 commissions of major new works, including bold and inventive productions that span multiple genres. The Ensemble has appeared in the most important venues and festivals around the world, including Donaueschingen, Darmstadt, Warsaw Autumn, Wien Modern, NY Philharmonic, and has collaborated closely with composers such as Pierre Boulez, Georg Friedrich Haas, Beat Furrer, as well as with numerous composers of the following generations. For its Cyprus debut, Talea Ensemble will perform the Cyprus premiere of masterpieces by Sofia Gubaidulina, Gérard Grisey, Zosha Di Castri, Chaya Czernowin, as well as the world premiere of newly commissioned works by Cypriot composers George Christofi, and Andreas Tsiartas.
