ROMERICAN AVANT-GARDE

Conceived as a revisited classical piano recital, ROmerican Avant-Garde is a concert-experience lasting about 50 minutes without applause, and almost without interruption between the works.

This unusual musical program dedicated to the piano presents a mélange of powerful avant-garde works by some of the greatest American composers, punctuated by Romanian pieces in a surprising transatlantic cultural bridge.

It is centered around a work conceived and premiered in Paris (Europe) in 1955 and rarely performed in the United States: The Seven Deadly Sins by Jacob Druckman.
ABOUT THE PROJECT

The first two years of the Covid-19 pandemic caused a brutal halt to face-to-face cultural events - in particular, to live performances. Even after health restrictions were eased, audiences were reluctant to return for a quite some time; some never returned to concerts at all, which speaks to the fragility and fluidity of nowadays audiences.

During this tough period, the following thought came to me: “In view of the habits that have radically changed since the beginning of the pandemic, I see here an opportunity to change the way I give classical piano recitals in order to make them accessible to a new audience beyond the habitual traditional music lovers.” This thought was the impetus for the concept of ROmerican Avant-Garde.

The choice to associate an American repertoire with Romanian works allows us to highlight the cultural links that have always existed through music, despite wars, distance and social upheaval. George Enescu’s nocturnal nostalgia in Romania during World War I resonates with John Cage’s post-war imaginary landscapes in New York in 1948, as Jacob Druckman’s 1955 atonal rebellion in Paris can resonate with a 21st century audience going through a period of profound and constant transformation. Today’s audience is more and more concerned about the current dramatic global situation that humanity is facing, and it participates actively in its improvement. [..]
