The Josef Suk Piano Quartet are celebrated worldwide for serving the music with „supreme skill“ as well as „heart-felt lyrical phrasing.“ „They play with huge sound, loving detail and lay down music with thrilling authority“. (MusicWeb International, The Guardian)

The Josef Suk Piano Quartet was named after Josef Suk (1929-2011), one of the greatest violinists of the twentieth century, the grandson of composer Josef Suk and great grandson of Antonín Dvořák. The honor of accepting the name of a leading Czech artist was proposed to the ensemble by the Czech Society for Chamber Music and with the kind support of Marie Suková, Josef Suk’s wife. The Josef Suk Piano Quartet develops the rich tradition of Czech chamber ensembles, namely of the famous Suk Trio.

The ensemble was founded by violinist Radim Kresta in 2007, initially as the Taras Piano Trio. Under this name the ensemble won prizes at a number of international competitions: 1st Prize at the Johannes Brahms Wettbewerb 2007; 1st Prize at the Premio Rovere d’Oro 2008; or, 1st Prize at the Val Tidone Music Competitions 2010. From late 2012 they played as Ensemble Taras as a piano quartet. In 2013, the ensemble achieved outstanding success winning two 1st Prizes at international competitions: in May 2013 at the Concorso Salieri-Zinetti in Verona, and in September 2013 at one of the most prestigious competitions, ACM Premio Trio di Trieste. The quartet also became the holders of the prominent prize of the Czech Society for Chamber Music as the Czech Chamber Ensemble of the Year 2014. Thanks to these successes the ensemble were given unique opportunities of performing on prestigious stages and of recording their début CD and DVD for Limen Music and Arts Milan, with the music of Gabriel Fauré (Piano Quartet Op. 15) and Johannes Brahms (Piano Quartet Op. 60), and another CD for the Azzura Music Label, with the music of Gustav Mahler and Brahms (Piano Quartet Op. 25). The ensemble has been performing under their new name of the Josef Suk Piano Quartet since 2014. In 2017 the quartet has recorded a CD under the label of Supraphon with a music of Josef Suk and Antonín Dvořák. Right after the recording was released it was very well critically acclaimed (The Guardian, Gramophone, MusicWeb International and others).

The quartet regularly perform in Italy, Spain, Slovakia, Austria, Germany, Slovenia or in Japan. They have played in venues like Rudolfinum in Prague, Palazzo del Quirinale in Rome, Teatro Verdi in Trieste, Trento filarmonica, Auditorio Castellón, Salla Maffeiana in Verona (here all the members of the quartet performed solo concertos accompanied by Italian orchestra “Virtuosi Italiani”) and others. The ensemble is also a regular guest of many festivals: for example: Prague Spring, Bologna Festival, La Bienalle di Venezia, IMF Leoš Janáček, Ema Destinová Festival, Emilia Romagna Festival,Appassionata Festival and others. They have also performed live in italian, austrian and czech radio (Rai, ORF, ČRo).

Their repertoire comprises key works from Classicism to the present; the pillars of their music are the works of Johannes Brahms, Antonín Dvořák, Josef Suk and Bohuslav Martinů, apart from prominent works of the 20th and 21st centuries. The quartet regularly performs debuts of new compositions by prominent composers such as Jean-Luc Darbelay, Max E. Keller, Matteo D’Amico, Marta Jiráčková and Jiří Gemrot. During their concerts, the ensemble perform in other formations too, as a piano trio or a string trio (as the Josef Suk Trio). As the ensemble members say, “a piano quartet is the ideal formation for us. It offers a range of possibilities and opportunities for the lovers of chamber music. It may unravel in various chamber combinations, for duos to string or piano trios; the piano quartet is also often able to stand for the whole orchestra, and some of the works of this formation are like symphonies…”

PULSE OF LIGHT

Artistic direction: Ivan Fedele, Italy

Ljubljana, October 22–29, 2016

Dear Listeners,
While it was not a coincidence that we selected Vito Žuraj as the artistic director of the last Slowind Festival, we can say that this year’s choice also involved a certain amount of luck.
About two years ago, we knocked on the door of Italian composer Ivan Fedele and proposed that Slowind perform at the Venice Biennale, of which he is the programme director. He generously invited us to the last edition of the festival and included a good measure of Slovenian contemporary music written for our ensemble on the programme. There followed discussions on a variety of challenges in the field of contemporary music, and a desire to invite him to Ljubljana soon matured within us. We gave him a copy of Mateja Kralj’s book entitled … Wood, Wind, Metal … which provides a thorough presentation of the philosophy of Slowind’s operation, while also giving creative people an indication of what still remains to be done with us after seventeen festivals. Ivan Fedele was glad to accept our invitation and, with his new festival programme, has invited us into the unknown – just where Slowind always likes to be.
This year’s festival will primarily be permeated with Ivan Fedele’s own music for a wide range of instrumental combinations. Thus the concerts are conceived in a rather classical way in terms of ensembles. The first concert is dedicated entirely to the combination of two pianos, percussion and electronics, the second concert is devoted exclusively to violin with electronics, the third to wind quintet, and the fourth to string quartet with a singer, while the last concert is slightly more in the spirit of Slowind, with diverse mixed ensembles.
This time, we will welcome a number of excellent Italian performers of contemporary music to Ljubljana, including the exceptional violinist Francesco D’Orazio, pianist Maria Grazia Bellochio, the string quartet Quartetto Prometeo with singer Valentina Coladonato, and the ensemble Ex Novo from Venice, under the baton of Pasquale Corrado. For the electronic music, the sound projection will be overseen by Alvise Vidolin and Francesco Abbrescia.
As well is becoming familiar with the music of Ivan Fedele, we will have an opportunity to hear some other exceptional and extensive works: Anthèmes II for violin and electronics by Pierre Boulez, String Quartet No. 2 by György Ligeti and Barvni krog (Colour Circle) by Lojze Lebič.
There are, of course, a number of new compositions awaiting their first performance at this year’s festival. Ivan Fedele has contributed two (!) new works for the festival, Neville Hall has composed a new piece for solo oboe, and we will perform new wind quintets by Nina Šenk and Luka Juhart. Thus we will have an opportunity to experience five world premieres. In the late hours, we will also be able to hear a sound projection of Zgodba o glasu in piščali (A tale of Voice and Flute) by Bor Turel and Gregor Pirš.
We are pleased to once again connect the Slowind Festival with the concert season of the Slovenian Philharmonic Orchestra, who will perform Fedele’s Concerto for Violin and Orchestra at subscription concerts. Francesco D’Orazio will appear as soloist, and the orchestra will be conducted by Pierre-André Valade.
Music education again has a place within the festival programme this year. Composers Ivan Fedele and Andrea Manzoli, as well as violinist Francesco D’Orazio, will speak at an international music workshop organized jointly with the Faculty of Arts in Ljubljana.

You are cordially invited to the 18th Slowind Festival 2016!

Matej Šarc

“Without music, life would be a mistake”, wrote the great German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche; I would add: “Without the endless renewal of music, life would be boring.” No other art form is as highflying, as stormy, as intangible, as sensitive, as suggestive as music, and I consider it to be my great good fortune that I have spent my whole life involved in this wonderful world, which embraces thoughts, emotions, science and knowledge, and which promises an eternity of creativity for ever new generations to come.
The Slowind Festival 2016 will be a showcase of many of my compositions created in the last twenty years. This is a wonderful opportunity for me to present to the audience how, during this period, I have developed my creative and stylistic approach, how I have always given priority to the social dimension of music, and how much attention I have devoted to the dynamic of perception.
“We are people who write music for other people.” This maxim has accompanied me throughout my research of art and poetics, and has always directed my imagination towards the most innovative and radical scores. It is one of the principles that I attempt to convey to my young students at the Academy of St Cecilia in Rome, two of whom – Andrea Manzoli and Pasquale Corrado – will join us at the festival with their fresh and promising compositions. To these two young composers, as well as to my other excellent students, I impart a belief in the “new humanism”, of which music today is not only a witness but undoubtedly also a driving force.
The opportunity to join with Slovenian composers at each concert is highly valued, as it gives me a chance to become familiar with and experience these composers more deeply. I am therefore very honoured that my monographic presentation will be accompanied by Luka Juhart, Nina Šenk, Lojze Lebič, Neville Hall, Bor Turel and Gregor Pirš. I am certain that this will be a source of new connection, cooperation and friendship. We do not get very far alone. Only together and in solidarity can we each asses our own personal identity, through comparison with the identity of others and through a process of social and cultural growth.
The concert programmes of the Slowind Festival 2016 are very diverse, and I am certain that they are imbued with a charm that will draw you to this week of new music: orchestral, chamber and solo evenings, with and without electronics. We should not forget that we live in a century in which music is experiencing profound change, both in terms of its creative direction and regarding listening habits.

I wish you all good music!
Ivan Fedele

Žuraj with Slowind!
In the Vortex of Time

Artistic Direction: Vito Žuraj

Ljubljana, 19–25 October 2015

 

Valued Listeners,

It is no coincidence that we in Slowind decided almost three years ago to entrust the artistic direction of our festival to the penetrating, successful and (still) young composer Vito Žuraj. And it is precisely in the last three years that Vito has achieved even greater success, recently being capped off with the prestigious Prešeren Fund Prize in 2014, as well as a series of performances of his compositions at a diverse range of international music venues. Vito’s close collaboration with composers and performers of various stylistic orientations was an additional impetus for us to prepare the Slowind Festival under the leadership of a Slovenian artistic director for the first time!

This autumn, we will put ourselves at the mercy of the vortex of time and again celebrate to some extent. On this occasion, we will mark the 90th birthday of Pierre Boulez as well as the 80th birthday of Helmut Lachenmann and Georg Katzer. In addition to works by these distinguished composers, the 17th Slowind Festival will also present a range of prominent composers of our time, including Bruno Mantovani, Brice Pauset, Michael Pelzel, Heinz Holliger, Beat Furrer and Márton Illés, as well as Slovenian composers Larisa Vrhunc, Nina Šenk, Bojana Šaljić Podešva, Uroš Rojko, Matej Bonin, and, of course, the festival’s artistic director Vito Žuraj. At one of the concerts of electronic music, we would like to pay a special tribute to the memory of Slovenian composer Mihael Paš, who this summer passed away much too soon. We will perform his composition entitled S. For many listeners, the highlights of the festival will be the performances of Gérard Grisey’s monumental composition Vortex temporum and Wolfgang Rihm’s masterpiece Tutuguri VI.

Our guest performers will be the ensembles Contrechamps from Geneva, Tema from Karlsruhe, Drumartica and the Slovenian Percussion Project, as well as the realiser of electronic music Gregorio García Karman from the Berlin Academy of the Arts, and a series of excellent soloists.

This year, new compositions will be contributed by Matej Bonin, Márton Illés, Bojana Šaljić Podešva, Vito Žuraj and Larisa Vrhunc. According to the information at hand, we will even hear a premiere performance of a composition entitled Madonna il poco dolce by Italian baroque composer Nicola Vicentino! This work will be played on the chromatic harpsichord by Swiss harpsichordist Johannes Keller, who together with pianists Marija Skender and Neus Estarellas Calderón, as well as soprano Marisol Montalvo, will perform a particularly interesting music theatre concert with a diverse range of keyboard instruments. Just two days after the end of the festival, we well, along with the excellent ensemble Contrechamps, present new works by Vito Žuraj and Larisa Vrhunc to the Geneva audience at the Ernest Ansermet Studio.

We are very happy that again this year the Slowind Festival will be linked with the concert season of the Slovenian Philharmonic Orchestra, who will perform a new work by Bojana Šaljić Podešva and the composition strane costellazioni by composer and conductor Beat Furrer at one of this year’s subscription concerts. Nor will we overlook the area of music education, with two international music workshops presented by composers Michael Pelzel, Brice Pauset, Márton Illés and Vito Žuraj, as well as harpsichordist Johannes Keller.

So, dear listeners, come and enjoy “Il Dolce Vito” with Slowind!

Matej Šarc
