Schubert | Winterreise | Tanglewood | with Elenora Pertz, piano

Schubert | Winterreise | Tanglewood | with Elenora Pertz, piano

Franz Schubert’s music and Wilhelm Müller's poems  sketch a path from the familiar pains of unrequited love to a deepening sense of alienation, an irreconcilability between self and world. As it nears its 200th year, it remains a work of elegant simplicity; it carries problematic notions of masculinity; it reminds us of what winter once was; it forms an envelope for confessions; sometimes it is mistaken for an invitation to virtuosity; it is hauntingly beautiful. 

Andrew will perform the cycle with pianist Elenora Pertz at Tanglewood’s Linde Center.

postWinterreise | Tanglewood

Ice slabs hang around a singer and pianist as they embark on Franz Schubert's Winterreise. As they venture into the cycle’s twenty-four songs, the music begins to dissolve. Nearly imperceptible at first, it fragments at a rate correlated to two hundred years of glacial ice melt. Momentary gaps widen into chasms, bridged only by orphaned pitch and timbral material. Rare bursts of intact music emerge like stands of old-growth forest—memories of a nature, a winter, that once was.

A third figure introduces an archive of field recordings: glaciers, traffic-clogged highways, electricity’s hum, rushing water, trees in wind, birdsong, human words. Her sounds and the disintegrating music weave together and reverberate through the melting ice.

In postWinterreise, music, sound, ice, and water are cyclically linked in a dramaturgy of environmental and physical transformation—asking who we will become in a world where winter itself is becoming a memory.

Fronte Vacuo / Conflux Festival

to Sep 21

Fronte Vacuo / Conflux Festival

During Conflux Festival Fronte Vacuo will present Murmur as an endurance performance, exploring the physical and sonic environment of the festival, Rotterdam, and The Hague.

Since 2019, Fronte Vacuo has created the cycle Humane Methods, the saga of a broken, future society oscillating between new forms of algorithmic violence and posthuman empathy. The stories and the cosmology of this society are told through stage productions, street performances and hybrid live installations where audiences experience sensorially charged and evocative actions.

Andrew joined Fronte Vacuo for Murmur, the 7th episode of the saga. The piece will reflect on forced displacement in ongoing ecological disruption. With new geographies emerging, new biotopes being established, interactions and conflicts across species arise. Andrew contributes the human voice to Fronte Vacuo’s symbolically charged sound and body theatrical compositions.
