About the event
Join the Departure Duo as the Frequency Series Presents them alongside new works recently commissioned from Tomás Gueglio and Mikhail Johnson. Tomás Gueglio’s Murmelnszenen taps into a mumbled and blurry memory of listening to telenovelas and radioplays, with glittering fragments of musical quotes scattered through. Mikhail Johnson draws inspiration from the 1463 frieze Lübecker Totentanz to create a Dance of Death for soprano and double bass where Death calls everyone to her inevitable Dance, with a particular glee for those who have done wrong in their time on earth.
