DISTANT FORCES

SONO ensemble

An immersive musical performance traversing between two diametric worlds

International Anthony Burgess Foundation

SONO ensembles’ immersive musical performance ‘Distant Forces’ traverses between two diametric worlds: One is rooted in a deep long-forgotten past, the other in an inconceivably distant future. The performance acts as a giant sweeping pendulum, taking the listener onto a musical journey between the two worlds, constantly searching for belonging, for permanence, for home. Inspired by cosmic sonifications, Mesopotamian mythologies and biblical texts - ‘Distant Forces’ comprises a soundtrack which centres around one of the foremost Chamber Music Works of the 20th Century, Alfred Schnittke’s Piano Quintet, alongside pieces by contemporary composers as Molly Joyce, Simon Knighton, Pēteris Vasks, and a new commission by UK-based composer Jobina Tinnemans which was kindly supported by Hinrichsen Foundation and the Vaughan Williams Foundation.SONO ensemble is a group of creative artists and musicians brought together by their undeniable passion for music. Experimenting with Music and Visual Media, the SONO ensemble is a playground and a safe haven for expression, exploration and new experiences, therefore, no one show is the same. Curiosity and intuition are the main engines behind our programming and we always aim that the collection of pieces presented speaks to our listeners as a whole.P﻿rogramme:M﻿olly Joyce - &#x27;Rave&#x27; for Piano solo + electronicsP﻿eteris Vasks - &#x27;Pianissimo&#x27; for Cello soloS﻿imon Knighton - &#x27;Dynamical Systems: Pendula (For piano quintet + electronics)J﻿obina Tinnemans - String Quartet &#x27;As Long As It Is Wide&#x27; (world premiere)A﻿lfred Schnittke - Piano QuintetStage Director and Video Projections - Eldad DiamantMusicians - Will Chadwick, Jody Smith, Rosamund Hawkins, Gunda Baranauskaite &amp; Ugnius Pauliukonis-﻿----------------------D﻿oors Open - 7pmS﻿tart - 7:30pmD﻿uration of the show - ~65mins
