Interview with composer Liviu Danceanu
Why did you decide to take this tour?
The reason is that for the past 15 years, we have had the habit of
feeling the pulse of the European contemporary music each fall.. As
usual, in October we will be in Germany. The Romanian Cultural Institute
and a contemporary music foundation from Düsseldorf are two of the
organizers. However, the main organizer is Radio Köln - Westdeutscher
Rundfunk, which is setting the scene for a very important Romanian
music concert to take place on December 20.
Can you tell us about this year's programme?
The tour will consist of 5 concerts, starting on October 26, and
there will be three concert programmes. We will perform the first
concert at the Romanian Cultural Institute in Berlin - the "
Titu Maiorescu " Institute - where we will perform three works:
a work by Eugen Wendel - "Transsonant", one by Corneliu
Dan Georgescu - "Study for the endless column", and one
of my own - "Exercises of admiration".
We will interpret the same programme in Mannheim, on October 28.
The second concert will also take place in Berlin, at Steglitz, and
we will perform works by Dan Dediu, Horia Surianu, Eugen Wendel and
myself. We will interpret the same programme in Dortmund.
Our audience will be able to watch our last concert at Westdeutscher
Rundfunk in Düsseldorf. The programme will include works by Corneliu
Dan Georgescu, Horia Surianu, Dan Dediu and myself.
