Description

‘Was dir nur Augen sind in diesen Tagen: In kunft’gen Nachten sind es dir nur sterne’

Songs by Mahler and Strauss are explored by baritone Andre Morsch, accompanied by Charlene Farrugia, with Salonniere Gillian Zammit.

Mortality, rebirth, eternity, solitude - in the midst of life we are in death. Inexorably we move towards our last breath, but we move in a golden profusion. There is fear, but there is also peace – confusion but certainty.

‘What now are merely eyes to you, in nights to come will be stars’

Over the course of three weekends, the concert hall at Palazzo de la Salle will be transformed into a fin-de-siecle salon. Traditionally an environment which sought to either please or educate, the Salon was the heart of experimentation, debate, creativity and discovery. Each event will be hosted by a Salonniere and will incorporate not only exquisite music and performance, but poetry, letters, musings and reflections. In keeping with the theme of ‘Decadence, Now’ the Salons will showcase some of the most beautiful repertoire in the German, French and Italian canons. Each programme will explore different aspects of decadence – the passions, the ecstasies, the risks and the consequences. Using these works as inspiration, Karl Fiorini will premiere a new song cycle: his response to the songs written during the Bel Epoque. With text from Salome and poems by D’Annunzio and Baudelaire, the songs will act as a connective thread running through each of the performances.

Performers Andre Morsch, Charlene Farrugia, Gillian Zammit, Raffaele Abete, Lucia Micallef, Denise Mulholland and Maria Theuma will come together to create an experience which goes beyond the realms of a traditional recital.

Decadence, Now runs from May 11 to 31 at the Malta Society of Arts in Valletta. This project is supported by Art's Council Malta's Programme Support Grant, the Embassy of Austria, the Embassy of France, the Embassy of Germany, the Embassy of Italy, the Embassy of Spain, Istituto Italiano di Cultura, Heritage Malta, University of Malta Department of Art & Art History, University of Malta Department of English, Valletta Cultural Agency, Camilleri Paris Mode, MAPFRE Middlesea, MAVENRY, University of Malta - Department of Art & Art history, University of Malta - Department of English, MAPFRE Middlesea, SA Consult, Von Peach, 66 St Paul's Valletta,Transcripta, Intervisions (framers), Casa Rocca Piccola, Artemisia Fine Arts & Antiques, Express Trailers, The Malta National Archives and is under the patronage of Valeria Limentani and Jordi Goetstouwers of the Virgata Group.
