With a composition of a pressing rhythm based on the mathematical science of the calculus of probabilities, Iannis Xenakis gives homage to the strengths of nature: in Persephassa science and myth meet in a tribal circle of percussions from the heart of which a striking ode to the goddess Persephone is raised. At the rate of an ancient auspicious rite, conTact & the next step open the seventh edition of Transart festival. A sound universe between traditional and contemporary arts continues with the refined orchestration of the sixth symphony of the German composer Hans Werner Henze followed by the two major symphonic orchestras of Tyrol and South Tyrol: lyrical tension grows in the meeting of the two orchestral groups that in music cancel regional borders.
