Details
The concert featuring the musicAeterna choir conceived by conductor Olga Vlasova is titled after a line from Ezra Pound’s poem M’amour: ‘I lost my centre, fighting the world’. Breaking away from the connotative meanings of a particular composition, the authors of the concert turn to the theme of struggle in the broadest sense of its manifestation in human life. The dramatic centre of the choral programme is the composition for soprano solo by Luigi Nono Djamila Boupaсha from his symphonic cycle Canti di vita e d’amore.
