Festival SONEMUS – New Generation
– Multidisciplinarna radionica i koncert –

14.12-15.12.2024. | Muzička akademija Univerziteta u Sarajevu

Udruženje Nove Muzike SONEMUS, osnovano 2001. godine, vodeća je organizacija u Bosni i Hercegovini koja se bavi savremenom umjetničkom muzikom, a o dosadašnjim uspjesima na domaćoj i međunarodnoj sceni svjedoče mnogobrojna učešća na međunarodnim festivalima, veliki broj premijera djela bosanskohercegovačkih i internacionalno aktivnih kompozitora, saradnja sa etabliranim evropskim muzičarima današnjice, preko 100 realiziranih koncerata u zemlji i inostranstvu, te niz radionica i javnih predavanja u domenu izvedbe, improvizacije i kompozicije. Stoga je SONEMUS preko dvije decenije kontinuiranog djelovanja, stvaranja infrastrukture u smislu osnivanja i uspješnog vođenja SONEMUS ansambla, te buđenja javnog interesa za savremenom muzikom kao sastavnog dijela muzičkog života u Sarajevu i BiH, posvećen realizaciji tri osnovna cilja: izvedba, edukacija i promocija internacionalno relevantne savremene umjetničke muzike u BiH, kao i bosanskohercegovačkog muzičkog stvaralaštva u inostranstvu. Osim toga, značajan doprinos udruženje SONEMUS daje razvoju i afirmisanju mladih muzičara, poticanju njihovog profilisanja u području savremene umjetničke muzike,te im kroz zajedničke koncerte i majstorske radionice s renomiranim izvođačima i kompozitorima pruža uvid u specifičnosti i interpretativne postulate u ovom polju.

Novopokrenuti projekat SONEMUS New Generation usmjeren je na edukaciju učenica i učenika osnovnih i srednih muzičkih/glazbenih škola kroz interaktivne, participativne i inkluzivne sadržaje. Kroz dvodnevnu multidisciplinarnu radionicu, koja obuhvata muzičku kompoziciju, improvizaciju, rad s elektroničkim instrumentima, te predstavljanje prirode i mogućnosti instrumanata koji djeca već sviraju u muzičkim školama, učesnice i učesnici će imati priliku da na pristupačan i sveobuhvatan način istraže različite elemente komponovanja i izvedbe savremene improvizirane muzike. Radionice će voditi priznati bosanskohercegovački kompozitori i izvođači aktivni na ovdašnjim koncertnim podijima, nastavnici Muzičke akademije Univerziteta u Sarajevu, kao i muzičari mlađe generacije. Kao reprezent ostvarenih rezultata, festival će biti zaokružen koncertom SONEMUS New Generation na kojem će sa mentorima nastupiti polaznice i polaznici svih radionica.

Cilj projekta je razvijanje afiniteta i potencijala, te proširivanje sfere interesovanja i vidika učenika muzičkih/glazbenih škola od njihovih incijalnih koraka, bez obzira da li će se u budućnosti profilirati u muzičke profesionalnce ili će se opredijeliti za druge profesije. Kroz učenje i poticanje razumijevanja različitih slojeva muzike u interaktivnom ambijentu, kroz timski rad, djeci i mladima u formativnim godinama nastojimo ponuditi nove perspektive i mehanizme za izgradnju analitičkog i kritičkog pristupa različitim muzičkim sadržajima na tehničkom i estetskom nivou, osvijestiti značaj pojedinačnog doprinosa svakog učesnika, ali i ukazati na neophodnost dijaloga i empatije u radu na zajedničkom cilju – koncertu.

Program dvodnevnog festivala sastoji se od multidisciplinarne radionice savremene improvizirane muzike tokom koje će biti osmišljen i pripremljen program završnog koncerta.

PROGRAM:

Ko se može prijaviti?

SONEMUS FEST 2024: WARIATIONS 

_________________________________________________________

SONEMUS FEST 2023: PRO/A̵G̵/GRESSION

Čast nam je i zadovoljstvo pozvati Vas na najnovije izdanje SONEMUS Festa, jedinog festivala savremene umjetničke muzike u Bosni i Hercegovini koji djeluje već 22 godine.

U historijskom trenutku, u kojem ponovo svjedočimo nepremostivim i neizmirljivim, često krvavim sukobima (političkih/kulturnih/religijskih/etničkih, itd.) identiteta, čini se kao da na globalnoj razini odustajemo od ideala društvenog progresa utemeljenog na univerzalnim humanističkim vrijednostima, što posljedično vodi i odustajanju od ideala o slobodi kao osnovnom ljudskom pravu i obilježju. Konformistički prepuštajući društveni napredak razvoju tehnologije, u uzaludnoj vjeri da tako možemo izbjeći vlastitu odgovornost, zatvoreni u identitetske balone virtualnih “istina”, postepeno tonemo u visokotehnologizirani korporativni feudalizam, koji nužno eksplodira u izljevima iracionalne agresije.

Upravo kao vid otpora ovakvom stanju stvari, a u tradiciji umjetničke muzike koja od Beethovena do danas proklamira ideju o univerzalnosti ljudske slobode stvaralaštva (jer sloboda se uvijek iznova stvara, dok je razaranje njena negacija), održava se i ovogodišnji SONEMUS Fest.

Prvim koncertom “Hommage à Ligeti” (ponedeljak, 30.10.2023. u 20:00) SONEMUS obilježava 100 godina od rođenja jednog od najznačajnijih kompozitora 20. stoljeća, Györgyja Ligetija. Pored bosanskohercegovačkih premijera originalnih Ligetijevih kompozicija na programu će se naći i djela drugih kompozitora koja se referiraju na njegovo muzičko nasljeđe, poput kompozicije mlade bosanskohercegovačke kompozitorke Hanan Hadžajlić, kao i djela za dva klavira u četvrttonskom štimu međunarodno renomiranog Georga Friedricha Haasa. Kao uvod u koncert, s početkom u 19:00 biti će održano i javno predavanje o Ligetijevom stvaralaštvu.

Drugi koncert, “Alter Ego” (utorak, 31.10.2023. u 20:00) programira djela bosanskohercegovačkih, grčkih, francuskih, palestinskih i švicarskih kompozitora s težištem na solističku i kamernu muziku, kao izraza drugog (muzičkog) ja.

“Progressions” (srijeda, 1.11.2023. u 20:00), treći i završni koncert ovogodišnjeg SONEMUS Festa tematizira muzičku improvizaciju, kao izraz da se sloboda/stvaralaštvo može ne samo kontemplirati i teoretizirati, već i živjeti/muzicirati.
Svi koncerti održati će se u sali Muzičke akademije Univerziteta u Sarajevu, J. Štadlera 1/II, Sarajevo.

U vremenima uznapredovale buke i bijesa, samo umjetnički oblikovan zvuk (i/li umjetnost uopće) može pružiti smisao i barem neku nadu za budućnost.

SONEMUS Fest 2023: PRO/A̵G̵/GRESSION

It is our honour and pleasure to invite you to SONEMUS Fest, the only festival of contemporary art music in Bosnia and Herzegovina, that has endured and prospered for more than 22 years.

In this historical moment, when once again we witness unbridgeable, irreconcilable and often bloody conflicts of (political/cultural/religious/ethnic, etc.) identities, it appears that we are globally abandoning the ideals of social progress based on universal humanistic values, and consequently the concept of liberty as a basic human right and legacy. In our conformist reduction of social progress solely to technological development, mistakenly believing this will absolve us of our own responsibility, confined to our identities and virtual “truth” bubbles, we are gradually sinking into a high-tech feudalism that inevitably explodes into outbursts of irrational aggression.

Since Beethoven until today, the tradition of art music has been promoting the universality of human freedom to create. (Freedom is always creative and destruction is its opposite.) In this spirit, this year’s SONEMUS Fest represents a strong (artistic) resistance against the status quo.

With the first concert “Hommage à Ligeti” (Monday, October 30, 2023 at 8 pm) SONEMUS pays tribute to one of the most important composers of the 20th century, György Ligeti and celebrates the centenary of his birth. In addition to the national premiere of some of his original works, this concert will also feature compositions by other composers dedicated or related to Ligeti’s immense oeuvre, such is the work by young Bosnian composer Hanan Hadžajlić, as well as the composition for 2 pianos tuned quartertone apart by internationally renowned Georg Friedrich Haas. An introductory lecture about the life and work of György Ligeti will be held before the concert at 7 pm.

The second concert “Alter Ego” (Tuesday, October 31, 2023 at 8 pm) presents works by Bosnian, Greek, French, Palestinian and Swiss composers, featuring primarily works for soloists as a reflection of an imagined (musical) second self.

“Progressions” (Wednesday November 1, 2023 at 8 pm) is the title of the third and final concert of the festival and it thematizes musical improvisation as an artistic praxis and statement that the freedom (of creation) is not there only to be contemplated for the sake of theory, but to be fully enjoyed.

All the concerts will be held at the Concert Hall of the Music Academy, Josipa Štadlera 1, 2nd floor, Sarajevo.
In times when noise and rage prevail, only the art of music (and art in general) can provide meaning and some hope for the future.

SONEMUS FEST 2022: October 15-19, Sarajevo

It is our honour and pleasure to invite you to SONEMUS FEST 2022, the only festival of contemporary art music in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

 

Entanglement in quantum mechanics denotes quantum state in which two particles (or a group of them) are perfectly correlated in their physical properties (position, momentum, spin and polarisation) and cannot be described separately, even when they are spatially distant.

 

(Dis)entanglement is the moment of irreversible detachment of the perfect correlation between entangled particles that occurs when their properties are measured (wave function collapse). This, seemingly paradoxical behaviour that denies the basic principles of causality, hence representing the fundamental disparity between quantum and classical physics, may be a perfect metaphor for the organisation of musical structures, as well as for the global historical moment we are living. The perpetual shift of pandemics, wars without (seemingly?) evident cause, economic crisis, rise of nationalism and other anti-universalistic ideologies are the symptoms of disentanglement of the globalised liberal capitalism which has been built up since the 1990s.

 

In sense of this metaphor, as a potential model for music organisation and reflection of the historical moment, the programme of SONEMUS FEST encompasses works of different generations of composers (and performers) representing various aesthetical positions. Yet all the works correlate in one: those which are the authentic micro-universes, that rethink/recreate the world(s) anew. In the times of crisis, the moments in which we reconsider (by the means of art) the actual human condition is necessary.

 

The festival issues 3 concerts:

 

1) Monday, October 17, 2022 – The renowned Austrian PHACE Ensemble will perform works of already established composers, such as Reinhard Fuchs and Ališer Sijarić. The concert also features works of 3 young women composers, rising stars of the European contemporary music scene: Hanan Hadžajlić, Clara Iannotta and Daniela Terranova.

 

2) Tuesday, October 18, 2022 – An excellent Ukrainian-German pianist Vitalii Kyianytisa will perform two masterpieces of the contemporary piano repertoire (B. Ferneyhough, B. Furrer). Because of its exceptionally high demands, these works are rarely performed worldwide. The SONEMUS Ensemble soloist, Violeta Smailović-Huart will give an integral performance of the famous 6 Capricci by Salvatore Sciarrino. (These are artistic „comments“ on the even more famous Paganini’s Capricci.) The popular composition for solo flute Flight by one of the most prominent British composers of today, George Benjamin, will also be performed on this occasion. Another SONEMUS guest, composer and conductor, Arash Yazdani will lead the SONEMUS Ensemble performing his composition that combines Iranian and European tradition of microtonal music.

 

3) Wednesday, October 19, 2022 – During the concert named JUGENDSTIL, the students and professors of the Music Academy of University of Sarajevo and participants of the SONEMUS Workshops for composers and musicians, will perform the works of composition students Azur Kasapović and Mirza Gološ, as well as of professor Dino Rešidbegović. Alongside these works, the concert program also features works of prominent composers such as Elliot Carter, Beat Furrer, Bruno Mantovani and Toru Takemitsu.

 

All the concerts will take place in the Gallery of Bosnian Culture Centre – BKC (Branilaca Sarajeva 24, Sarajevo)

 

Information regarding the tickets for concerts will be announced soon.

SONEMUS FEST is a fesival that hosts local and foreign musicians-soloists, chamber orchestras and ensembles performing contemporary artistic music and organises their concerts and tours in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

SONEMUS FEST 2019: April 11-18, Sarajevo

It is our honor and pleasure to invite you to SONEMUS FEST 2019.

In the experience formed by new media, sound and image have ceased to be comprehended as separate sensations: absence is substituted by virtual presence, sound appears without its physical source, and image transforms into sound movement (and vice versa).  This year’s issue of SONEMUS FEST explores this new kind of art, in which the interaction of image and sound creates fascinating and inextricable textures of a synesthetic art-form.  

The festival consists of 3 concerts:  

1. Tuesday, April 16, 2019, Cinema “Imperijal”/Brew Imperial Society (Maršala Tita street 56, Sarajevo), at 8 pm: Black Box Music is an interactive piece by Danish composer, performer and sound-artist Simon Steen-Andersen in which music, theatre and video intertwine in a dynamic and exciting way; the Concerto for violin and ensemble by Bosnian composer Ališer Sijarić will have its first performance; and a trio by Australian-Swiss composer, Paul Clift, completes the concert program. The SONEMUS Ensemble (in its largest edition so far) is conducted by Matthias Kuhn, and Carlota Cáceres—movement—and Violeta Smailović-Huart—violin—will perform as soloists. 
2. Wednesday, April 17, 2019, Armed Forces of Bosnia and Herzegovina Hall (Zelenih Beretki street ,2 , Sarajevo) at 8 pm. ENTRANCE – FREE!: The Swiss ensemble Proton Bern performs works that combine improvisation on a tape-recorder with traditional instruments in a piece by young Swiss composer Antoine Chessex, with Jérome Noetinger as soloist on tape-recorder, as well as on modular synthesizers in a new composition by Dino Rešidbegović.

Concert Programme

It is our honour and pleasure to invite you to SONEMUS FEST 2017.

In a room full of clocks, each beating out its own pulse, mechanical time transcends into an auditory landscape, rippling like the surface of the sea.  Labyrinths of the imagination open up for the attentive listener/viewer, filled with mirrors reflecting unsuspected, hidden contours of the self. DIS/C/LOC/K/ATION, a play on words intertwining clock and dislocation, denotes non-linear, “disjointed” time as measured by our internal clocks, freed from the constraints of mechanical predetermination. In keeping with the programme motto, the compositions at this year’s festival are also (each in its own way) precisely crafted mechanisms, fine-tuned by their creators to do the impossible: measure the immeasurable.

The festival consists of three concerts:

PRE-ART [PreArt Soloists (CH)] featuring the world premiere of the newest piece by the French-Slovenian doyenne of avant-garde music, Vinko Globokar (internationally, the most renowned composer from  former Yugoslavia); the announcement of the international competition Pre-Art 2017 for young composers winner and the performance of the three best compositions by Matko Brekalo (HR), Deniz Nurhat (TR), and Marijana Janevska (MK); and the programme will also include works by the Swiss composers Matthias Arter and Stefan Wirth.

CLOCKWORKS[SONEMUS Ensemble (BiH/CH), cond. Edo Mičić (AT/HR)] will present the masterpiece of contemporary artistic music by György Ligeti, Kammerkonzert for 13 instruments, and a composition that directly invokes Ligeti, Music Box by the young German-Serbian composer, Marko Nikodijević. The concert programme will also feature the composition of Bosnian composer Ališer Sijarić, Noise Prevails, and a composition by the Swiss composer Martin Jaggi.

NEOFONIA [Ensemble Neofonia (SI), cond. Steven Loy (USA/SI)] brings us the world premieres of new compositions by the prominent Slovenian contemporary composer Uroš Rojko, as well as the young Urška Pompe. The concert will also feature the premiere of a composition by the young Bosnian composer and flautist Hanan Hadžajlić. In addition, we will have the Bosnian premiere of significant compositions by one of the founders of the ‘French school’ spectralism, Tristan Murail, as well as composition by Christophe Bertrand, whom we lost so tragically early in his young life. The programme will also include the work of a prominent Swiss contemporary composer Dieter Ammann.

All concerts will be held at the BiH Armed Forces Hall (Zelenih Beretki 2, Sarajevo) beginning at 7:30 p.m.

Admission to all concerts is free.

Guest composers will also hold public lectures about their works, as well as classes for composition course participants. The guest composers are:

Vinko Globokar – April 7, 2017 at 10 AM

Marko Nikodijević – April 8, 2017 at 10 AM

Uroš Rojko – April 9, 2017 at 10 AM

Previous Event: SONEMUS FEST 2016 – TRANCEGRESSION

It is our honour and pleasure to invite you to the SONEMUS FEST 2016. The title of this year’s edition, TRANCEGRESSION, is a hybrid formed by joining two English/French words: trance – a half-conscious state of mind between dream and reality, and transgression – violation of legal or social norms. This years programme explores the world of musical hybrids which combine contemporary artistic music and various genres of pop music, such as psychedelic rock, trance, acid house etc. However, unlike typical hybrids such as „decaffeinated coffee“ (S.Žižek), or „religion without God“ (R.Dworkin), which are deprived of their basic substance, combining musical genres sometimes produces new authentic qualities which subliminally resonate within us.

Previous event: SONEMUS FEST 2015 – Sonic Boom

In a world saturated by cacophony of outdated and failed ideas and beliefs, disguised as high technology hybrids accommodated as easy and fast consumption, the true art of sound appears like a subversive explosion of sense in the ear/mind of a careful listener. SONEMUS FEST is dedicated to precisely this kind of music – the music based on genuine creativity and originality of artistic expression, meant to be confronted by the audience (not to be consumed).

The concerts were performed by talented young musicians from Bosnia and Herzegovina and Switzerland, guided by the doyen of the European music scene, conductor and composer Jürg Wyttenbach.
