Clara Iannotta is a composer working at the absolute forefront of new music. Her compositions have been performed by groups such as Ensemble Intercontemporain, the Arditti Quartet and Neue Vocalsolisten Stuttgart, to name a few. Oerknal is happy to take part in a retrospective of her work on 7 November at SoundsofMusic Festival in Groningen!

​

Oerknal will present three works by Clara: the elegant piano trio Il colore dell'ombra, an homage to Maurice Ravel, The people here go mad. They blame the wind., a trio for bass clarinet (doubling 12 music-boxes), cello and piano inspired by metal chimes clanging on a windy day in Boston, and A Failed Entertainment, an enigmatic string quartet inspired by David Foster Wallace's novel Infinite Jest.

​

Pianist Vivian Choi and students from Prins Claus Conservatorium will also perform. An evening not to be missed!
