A world premiere performance of the work of Yannis Kyriakides titled "Words and Songs without Words".
This work is a response to a quote from Felix Mendelssohn from a letter to to Marc-André Souchay dated 15th of October 1842. In it he explained his position regarding his Songs Without Words cycle, highlighting the opposite view he takes from the norm, regarding the relative meaningfulness of words in relation to music...
This piece explores not only the individual semantic problems of words and music individually but what happens in their combination when the music is forced into a linguistic function.
