Join CMC composition faculty Davide Verotta, for Tell es-Sakan, a concert length protest, pacifist piece for String Quartet and percussion.
Strident, strange and often violent but also full of exuberance and joy, Tell es-Sakan is a protest, pacifist, concert-length piece for string quartet and percussion. Intended as a ballet, motivated by the current war in Gaza, and named after the oldest known settlement in the area. It follows on one side a couple that meets, falls in love, vows trust to each other, and on the other the War Machine, an ominous presence that eventually takes over in a fury of destruction. The piece comes from a place of sorrow but also yearning for a better human future.
Played by the Friction String Quartet, and Haruka Fuji and Anne Szabla, percussion.
