Electronic sound or a return towards classical musical instruments?
Electronic music emerged during the 1950s and captured the interest of composers and listeners. In the following decades a large number of composers dedicated themselves to electronic music composition.
Electronic sound found a new application in it's combination with the natural sound of acoustic instruments and the live theatrical presence of the performing musician.
Today electronic sound has an assured steady position within contemporary music, with composers often making use of such resources in many different ways in their works, either developping new applications or taking advantage of the already established possibilities.
The program for this concert includes works for solo bassoon as well as works for bassoon and electronics, and in this manner reflects the mark of current music trends
