Listening with the Eyes
MITO 2025’s slew of offerings also includes music that may be “seen” with the eyes. Returning this year are sounds that inhabit unorthodox spaces – not only physical ones – and concerts that spill over into the realms of theater and performance. This is music that intertwines with images, movement and thought, creating multisensory experiences that transcend even the geographical boundaries of the traditional concert.
Looking to the East, The Book of Women is inspired by two striking images: the Virgin Mary punching out Satan in a 13th-century prayer book, and the Hindu goddess Durga from Sanskrit mythology, with flaming eyes and armed to free the earth from evil. An ensemble of early music vocalists, a contemporary music group, and Indian singer Varijashree Venugopal join forces in an engaging fusion of medieval music for female voices and contemporary music for voice, ensemble and electronics. The composition by Riccardo Nova is inspired by the Mahabharata.
Hauch #2 is a spatial polyphonic installation where musical and choreographic elements interact with a collage of original compositions assembled by Rebecca Saunders for Ensemble Modern. Here, Saunders, long driven by a desire to integrate dance into her music, is joined by the dancers of CocoonDance. There’s dance at Le Roi as well, featuring the piano and keyboards of Francesco Tristano, who blends classical piano traditions with contemporary experimentation.
Music for contemplation is found in Nomadic, a reflective work by Telmo Pievani on human and animal migration as a fundamental catalyst for diversity and species evolution. It merges science and visual art with the music of Gianni Maroccolo.
