Friday 13 November 2015 / 9:00pm SCREENING: “LAST SONG BEFORE THE WAR” The Last Song Before the War is a feature-length documentary that captures the inspiring rise and uncertain future of Mali’s annual Festival in the Desert. From the bustling streets of Mali’s capital of Bamako to the exotic dunes of the Sahara, Last Song Before the War takes the audience on a high-definition journey to the most remote music festival in the world. The famed three-day event features Grammy-award winning musicians playing their hearts out in the Sahara Desert surrounding Timbuktu. Over the years, the Festival has attracted some of the biggest names in music such Bono, Robert Plant and Jimmy Buffet. Against the backdrop of stunning musical performances, the film subtly reveals the challenges and triumphs of creating an artistic event in such challenging economic and political circumstances. After 12 years of success and unforgettable musical moments, the Festival in the Desert came to a halt in 2012 when separatist rebels and Islamic militants seized control of Northern Mali. Director: Kiley Kraskouskas Language: English with English subtitles Duration: 90’ Thursday 12 November 2015 / 8.30pm CONCERT: “IN TEMPORE BELLI” ERGON ENSEMBLE The Concert “In Tempore Belli”, which will take place in a candlelit The Shoe Factory, pays a tribute to Man – the man who has been victimized, who has been sacrificed for his ideals, who lost his right to life – but above all it is a reminder of the greatness this same man is capable of through artistic creation. The eminent Ergon Ensemble from Greece will perform three heartrending works which have been inspired by war but at the same time they acted as a way of catharsis to their own composers: Dmitry Shostakovich: String Quartet No.3 VS THE COLD WAR Written immediately after the end of the Second World War, No.3 is one of Shostakovich’s most emblematic works and according to the composer “his favourite of his quartets”. The Quartet, also known as Shostakovich’s “War Quartet”, reflects the unspeakable hardships of life in the Soviet Union up through the end of WWII, during the increasingly bitter climate of the Cold War, which took their toll on Shostakovich: nervous, bitter and depressed, the composer found his most profound outlet in the safe privacy and intimate expressive capability of chamber music. ERGON ENSEMBLE The Ergon Ensemble, founded in 2008, comprises some of the most talented soloists of our time, all graduates of the International Ensemble Modern Academy. One of the leading music ensembles in Greece, the Ensemble has appeared in renowned venues and music festivals in Greece and abroad, having received great critical and audience acclaim for the quality and precision of its performances as well as its ambitious and exciting programmes. Recent highlights include its participation in the Suså Festival in Denmark and the Athens Festival, the productions Silent Film and Music, Peter Maxwell Davies: Icones, City Lives and Dream at the Megaron Athens Hall, Balkan Project and Alternativa at the Onassis Cultural Centre in Athens, Music and Electronics at the Goethe Institut. The Ergon Ensemble collaborates closely with the German leading exponent of contemporary music Ensemble Modern, which regularly invites Ergon’s soloists to Frankfurt for joining forces in concert. Friday 13 November 2015 / 7:30pm LECTURE: “MUSIC AND DIPLOMACY” PAOLO PETROCELLI Paolo Petrocelli, Founder and President of EMMA for Peace (European Mediterranean Music Academy), will give a talk on “Music and Diplomacy” examining the effectiveness of this art form in international affairs, global development, and social justice effort. As a Music Diplomacy Ambassador, Petrocelli serves in institutional roles to forge bonds through music in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia and the US. In 2012, he founded EMMA for Peace (European Mediterranean Music Academy), a non-profit organization for music diplomacy and education. EMMA for Peace brings together music institutions, universities, and philanthropic foundations interested in music and the promotion of peace in the Mediterranean and Middle East regions. World-renowned artists have joined EMMA to help music become an instrument of understanding, awareness, and collaboration toward a peaceful future. Celebrated Italian conductor Riccardo Muti acts as the organisation’s Honorary President. EMMA’s goal is to create a dialogue platform and to share musical excellence among international musicians of the highest level and students and young people from disadvantaged backgrounds across Europe and the Middle East. It uses music as a tool for peace in places torn apart by war, bringing the best talent from the world’s concert halls and academies to refugee camps and other deprived areas where music education is otherwise inaccessible. George Crumb: Black Angels for Electric String Quartet VS THE VIETNAM WAR One of the most overwhelming and fascinating works in music history, Crumb’s Black Angels for Electric String Quartet was inspired by the War in Vietnam. The work, performed by an actual electric string quartet, moreover employs an arsenal of sounds, performed by the string players, including chanting, water-tuned crystal glasses, maracas and tam-tams. The work abounds in conventional musical symbolisms such as the Diabolus in Musica (the interval of the tritone) and the "Devil's Trill", after Tartini; a quotation from Schubert's "Death and the Maiden" quartet, an original Sarabanda, the sustained B-major tonality of God-Music, and several references to the Latin sequence Dies Irae. According to Crumb, his masterpiece was conceived as a kind of parable on our troubled world, portraying the three stages of the voyage of the soul: Departure (fall from grace), Absence (spiritual annihilation), and Return (redemption). Andreas Tsiartas: Taqsimi on an Armenian Lamento VS THE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE Tsiartas’ Taqsimi on an Armenian Lamento is a soulful, mournful and evocative piece, filled with folk elements and based on the poetry of Avetik Isahakyan. The work, which will receive its official world premiere in a candle-lit The Shoe Factory, is the Pharos Arts Foundation’s contribution to the commemoration of the Armenian Genocide Centennial. Saturday 14 November 2015 / 9:00pm SCREENING: “WAR DANCE” The superb documentary War Dance, set in war-raved Northern Uganda, reveals the redemptive power of music, even in the most horrific places. The award-winning film (and 2007 Academy Award Nominee for Best Documentary Feature) will touch your heart with a real-life story about a group of children whose love of music brings joy, excitement and hope back into their poverty-stricken lives. Three children who have suffered horrific brutalities momentarily forget their struggles as they participate in music, song and dance at their school. Invited to compete in a prestigious music festival in their nation’s capitol, their historic journey is a stirring tale about the power of the human spirit to triumph against tremendous odds.
