piano recital

piano recital
by Sorina Aus-ioan in Vienna.
My last work "Seven Bagatelles" for piano solo op.88 will be performed by Sorina Aust-Ioan - Piano among work by L.v.Beethoven and G. Kroell on September, Friday 17, h.20:00, at Palais_Khevenhüller-Metschbased in Vienna.
The work is derived from the Toccata “Prylis” op.85, written for and dedicated to the famous piano soloist.
Seven short pieces based on the main musical material of the Toccata.
Some words about the work :
"Once upon a time in Ancient Greece, female warriors used to perform a severe and rhythmic dance called "Prylis". It was the sheer counterpart of the very well-known male war dance "Pyrrihios". In my imagination, "Prylis" was the dance performed in 1803, before the Greek Revolution, by women of Souli, a village of Hepiros in North-West Greece, while on the run of the Ottomans were thrown by themselves one by one from the cliffs of the mount Zalongo not to be captured and disgraced by them becoming a symbol of heroism and self-sacrifice over the years!"
"Your 7 bagatelles are so perfect composed that the historical event from 1803 is life to hear and feel there , specially for me !
And I hope to give my feelings to the public! Thank you very much for the wonderful dedication !"
(Sorina Aust-ioan, pianist)

Panagiotis Theodossiou "Praise to Hellas"
("Ellados Egomion")
Music performance on the occasion of the celebration of the 200 years of Hellenic Nation's independence with many references to the music of Greece from antiquity to nowadays.
A musical ritual
with narration, screen projection,
and small instrumental ensemble.
“Praise to Hellas” is musical ritual which attempts to artistically recapture and emotionally move the attender, by narration, music and visual art, onto the long-lived Greek history. A history lost in the depths of ancienty, reaching to nowadays, penetrating time and leaving sacred memories, unfading, unique.
Milestones, watersheds of this attempt are the significant mythological and historical facts by which the single and undivided Greek past is sealed. Vehicle for this are the myths, fables and the tradition of this country.
Music and narration bear strongly the presence of the Greek element. The first often borrows and develops remarkable sound motifs of the precious past, melting them with contemporary vocabulary of the art of sound. The latter juxtaposes texts different in nature, conceptually and chronologically afar, projecting the inner relationship of historical unity between them.
Records from Ancient Greek and Byzantine literature in the original form, but in modern translation as well, fragments from folklore tradition in its characteristic dialect, scripts that give prominence to testimonies of historical facts of great moral depth.
