The composition by George Lewis was commissioned by Music Biennale Zagreb and Radio Österreich 1 in cooperation with ORF musikprotokoll.
The ORF Vienna Radio Symphony Orchestra (ORF RSO Wien) under Roland Kluttig presents stylistically diverse statements on the theme of freedom. With her piece Jubelhemd (Jubilee Shirt), Lisa Streich responds to a commission for the 250th anniversary of the Royal Swedish Academy of Music. She takes forced jubilation itself as her theme, inspired by Jubelhemd by Austrian artist Markus Schinwald, a shirt with its sleeves sewn on backward, forcing the wearer into a jubilant gesture.
In Phantasma, Austrian composer Bernd Richard Deutsch refers to Gustav Klimt’s Beethoven Frieze in the Secession Building in Vienna, a symbol for artistic freedom. Canadian composer Nicole Lizée draws inspiration for artistic freedom from faulty AI products. A new work by American composer George Lewis speculates on “what the freedom of a Creolized decoloniality might sound like and how we humans might live with these new freedoms.”
Conductor: Roland Kluttig
