 On April 23, the Sound Up festival of extraordinary musical events will open the new season with the Russian premiere of Philip Glass's work "Another Look at Harmony. Part IV" for choir and organ. In this unique work, the composer brings to the fore an exciting rhythm, the derivative function of which becomes harmony and then melody. Glass builds from similar but constantly changing vocal and instrumental patterns a powerful and majestic, architecturally flawless sound volume - in fact a temple of sound within which one can experience both enlightenment and purification. The Intrada vocal ensemble and organist Ksenia Sviridenko, whose performing skills reveal the richest sound palette of the "king of instruments", will be the guides to the harmony of sound. The Russian premiere of "Another Look at Harmony. Part IV", combined with a group meditation session, will take place in the radiating peace of the Cathedral of St. Peter and Paul - a monument of neo-Gothic architecture and a functioning Lutheran church. The concert will continue the Sound Up meditation series, an original event format designed for listeners to immerse themselves in states of peace and self-contemplation.
