On June 13, the dialogue-concert al’thalj will be presented by the German art collective neuMERZ and the Austrian contemporary music ensemble airborne extended at Württembergischer Kunstverein Stuttgart.
The eponymous piece by American composer Rachel C. Walker was composed during her residency at Akademie Schloss Solitude in 2022.
Based on her collaboration with Iraqi poet Nadeem Al-Aloosi, this new large-scale work for the quartet emerged from the process of translating and transcribing Al-Aloosi’s poetry. The German premiere of al’thalj will be played twice during the concert. Between the performances there will be a moderated discussion with the composer and Martina Seeber from the SWR.
