Friday, November 12nd is dedicated to the Black Page Orchestra. Founded in 2014 in Vienna, Black Page Orchestra is an ensemble for radical and uncompromising music of current times. The name derives from Frank Zappa’s composition the black page, a piece which its score is, due to the high density of notes and musical events, nearly a black paper. Beside this clear aesthetical approach, the ensemble focuses on compositions using electronics, video and different technologies in an artistic context as well as pieces with performative character. The ensemble will present works by M. Andronikou, M. Ivicevic, H. Kiyama, H. Sophocleous, G. Stavrou and T. Stylianou.
The festival concludes on Saturday, November 13th with a piano recital by Christos Fountos, presenting works by M. Andronikou, E. Karageorgis, G. Papageorgiou, S. Savva, G. Stavrou and T. Stylianou.
