Trío Lesión

Lesión is a Colombian trio by clarinetist María Valencia, double bassist Santiago Botero and violinist Ana Ruiz Valencia. Focused on free improvisation, Trio Lesion takes its name from a long history of frustrated encounters, usually due to some injury (lesión) of any of its members, Covid-19, unexpected travels or city changes. For this concert, Trio Lesión performs an acoustic concert at the housing project Centro Antonio Nariño, an iconic representation of Modern architecture in Bogota built in 1952 that integrates interior and exterior spaces, public and private life. In a post-pandemic world, these housing models are gaining interest again by local people as they represent an architecture that counteracts neoliberal and airbnb-like housing projects.

John McCowen will perform solo works for contrabass clarinet. These works showcase the contrabass clarinet as a polyphonic instrument. By finessing the instrument’s sonic spectrum, a language based in the natural harmonics of a cylinder is developed. Put simply, the music features multiple, independent moving lines from one acoustic sound source.

La Experimental is a serial sonic encounter that has continually evolved since 2005, emanating from Chile and extending across the world.

Join us online at 3 PM Saturday, October 8th as curatorial fellow Camila Nebbia presents "A Door in The Mountain". The concert features work by Sheng Jie, Sharmila Seyyid, Rayra Pereira Da Costa, and Cansu Tankrikulu.

Pause in time is an ongoing project series of participatory events, incorporating chant, poetry, music, and sound, to bring calm and peace in individuals.
