Description

Contemporary composers and their predecessors
Ensemble Utak | Hannah Dienes-Williams | R. Marino Arcaro Under the direction of composer Rafael Marino Arcaro, soprano Hannah Dienes-Williams and Ensemble Utak bring an extraordinary concert to Germany, consisting entirely of world premieres and spanning a century of Latin American music from 1927 to 2026. Works from Brazil, Chile, Peru, Cuba, and Mexico combine early modernism with contemporary voices in a cross-generational cultural encounter. The focus is on the world premiere of 'what i learned from manoel de barros: / o que aprendi com manoel de barros:', Marino Arcaro's setting of Manoel de Barros' poetry collection from 1998. This new work transforms the poet's language – characterized by fragility – into a bold vocal soundscape and makes the quieter rural regions of Brazil accessible.
