YST Conservatory Orchestra Hall<\/strong><\/p>\n 18 November 2018 (Su)<\/strong> Join OpusNovus, the Conservatory\u2019s contemporary music ensemble in their final concert this semester.<\/p>\n The first half of this programme features composers associated to Europe. Beginning with Argentine-German composer Kagel, whose music is often filled with humour, sarcasm and theatre, as in 10 Marches To Miss the Victory<\/em>, which is essentially a parody of military marches. German composer Enno Poppe\u2019s Brot<\/em> (bread) grooves with nuances that are almost akin to modern jazz, and the intensity of the musical texture gradually rises to a point that borders on hyperactivity. In contrast, Korean-German composer Pagh-Paan\u2019s poetic Die Insel Schwimmt<\/em> takes on a delicate quality, while the French composer Dusapin\u2019s exquisite and substantial third string quartet would be divided amongst two string quartets.<\/p>\n In the \u2018American\u2019 second half, one can expect gamelan-inspired rhythms through Cage\u2019s Three Dances<\/em> for two prepared pianos, and Feldman\u2019s spacious Durations III<\/em>. The concert concludes with Var\u00e8se\u2019s iconic Octandre<\/em> of almost a century ago, but it remains nonetheless refreshing.<\/p>\n
