Horia Surianu will present his work and play selected excerpts from some of his compositions. He will discuss his choices, his compositional methods, and the contexts in which his works came into being. An event held as part of our Contemporary Music Encounters series.
Horia Surianu studied musical composition at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique de Bucarest and in France at Université Paris 1, Panthéon-Sorbonne, where he earned a doctorate in Art Sciences. He has composed music in various genres, from symphonic music to educational music, receiving commissions from cultural organizations in France and abroad. His music has been performed around the world on prestigious stages in major cities and at major festivals. It has been published by several music publishing houses in France, Germany, and Romania, recorded on CD, and broadcast by radio and television in several countries. His compositional technique and musical aesthetic lie between research in spectral music and modal music, seeking a harmonic balance between consonance and dissonance. Now retired from teaching aesthetics and musical composition, he remains active as an artist. Saturday, June 13, from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. Adults - Free admission > More information about the composer here
