Trio Tempestoso
Trio Tempestoso explore des compositions dont la base s’inscrit dans des matériaux musicaux préexistants. Dans la technique picturale du “sgraffito”, des fragments de matière musicale servent de surface préparatoire à l’oeuvre qui est ensuite recouverte de couches supplémentaires de textures diverses. Cette étude, qui mêle les sensibilités de différents compositeurs, donne vie à une composition harmonieuse, nichée entre la fondation et la superposition. Leur répertoire coloré comprend certaines des pièces néo-classiques et baroques bien connues ainsi que des compositions récentes; dont les deux premieres seront présentés pendant le festival.
