Thursday April 19 at 20.00 at Miry, Gent

The Druids - he Druids, Who Know, See and Hear Nothing #2 is a concert, a film, an experiment and an examination of the heart. It takes us along a more than seven hour train journey, and that by way of the iconic documentary Bergensbanen – minutt for minutt, which visualizes the 371 ­kilome­ter trip from Bergen to Oslo. This so­-called ‘slow TV’ through the natural landscapes of Norway makes one pause for thought. Within the contours of an open composition from the hand of Joris Blanckaert, Nina Fukuoka and Erika Vega, GAME sets to work on a number of fundamental questions. It becomes a comput­er-­operated confrontation with their musical past, as well as with one another in the present, and the choices that entails. Making choices is also central to this performance. Just like the musicians, the audience too has an influence on the images and on the music, and can determine when to enter, when to leave, when and where to sit, lie down, stand or walk around.

20 februari 2014 : Voorbij de velden, Conservatorium Gent

Pieter Pellens, Cédric De Bruycker en Ensemble Fractales grasduinen in vier decennia spectrale muziek Miryzaal, Conservatorium Gent

Vanaf het begin van de jaren zeventig schreven Tristan Murail en Gerard Grisey enkele klassiek geworden werken waarmee ze de bakens uitzetten van wat we vandaag spectrale muziek noemen, een toonspraak waarbij de fysische eigenschappen van een toon de basis vormen van het compositorisch proces. Veertig jaar na datum stellen we vast dat de spectrale muziek zelf een spectrum van componisten en stukken is gaan beslaan. Ensemble Fractales duikt het spectrale klankveld in en confronteert enkele klassiekers met hun uitlopers. Hoogpoort 64, 9000 Gent, €5 (geen voorverkoop) / gratis voor studenten School of Arts

4 februari 2014 : Miryzaal, Conservatorium Gent

Tip Toe Company en Tim Mariën verkennen vreemde stemmingen

Geen wonder dat Tim Mariën als musicoloog en pianostemmer bijzonder veel aandacht heeft voor stemming. Het bestuderen van een figuur als Harry Partch en zijn theorie van just intonation stemde Mariën tot nadenken en uiteindelijk ook tot componeren. Zijn recente ‘A New Basement of Strings’ is een open werk waarin de muzikanten worden uitgedaagd de eigen instrumenten opnieuw te leren kennen. Met behulp van microtonale piano’s, harpen en herstemde mandolines evoceert Tip Toe Company de bevreemdende klankwereld die tussen notenbalken zweeft. Valsspelers die een loopje nemen met snaren...

G.A.M.E. met het programma ‘Sound & Body’ in de Opéra van Lille (Big Bang Festival) met werk van François Sarhan, Thierry De Mey, Francesco Filidei en Steve Reich

Met meer dan dubbel zoveel nieuwe studenten in oktober kwam de manama fris aan de aftrap van het nieuwe academiejaar. De ploeg bestaat vandaag uit zestien sterke individuen die met hun respectieve ensembles van zich willen laten horen. Het oprichten van een overkoepelend ensemble G.A.M.E (Ghent Advanced Master Ensemble) past in deze optiek. G.A.M.E zal jaarlijks binnen en buiten de hogeschool concerteren en ook over de jaren heen blijven bestaan. Een eerste datum om aan te kruisen in de agenda is het hedendaagse muziekevenement Saturnalia op 19 december in de Miryzaal. G.A.M.E. wordt er vergezeld door LAPS en Nadar Ensemble.

Since the present academic year, the Faculty of Music - University College Ghent, , in collaboration with the Spectra & Ictus ensemble, offer a new Post Master programme with emphasis on Contemporary Chamber Music. This is an advanced programme which runs over two academic years and can only be followed by students who already have at an academic master’s degree. The programme is designed for musicians wishing to combine further specialization in performing contemporary solo & chamber music with developing their professional career.

This postmasters_on_stage calendar lists the various performances that include the actual post master students: pianist Fabian Coomans, flutists Anne Davids and Chrissy Dimitriou, guitarist Matthias Koole, viola player Annegret Mayer-Lindenberg, pianists Charlotte Otte and Sara Picavet, soprano Tomoko Taguchi and harpist Jutta Troch.

There are roughly two kinds of performances that are chronologically listed here: concerts in the regular concert circuit and auditions that take place in the Conservatory of Gent. The public is warmly invited to all these activities. The auditions on the last Thursday of each month are organized in the big Miry concert hall of the Conservatory of Gent and will have the character of an open master class.

Hereby we would like to draw special attention to the upcoming audition on the 19th of November and to the concert on the 29th of November in Brussels (Nadine). At this occasion we would to officially present for the first time the students to our public. Throughout various short concerts starting at 16h00 students can present their various projects to the public.
