The Quartet According to Ali-Zadeh. Round table discussion : Folklore in contemporary music.
13/02/2025 @ 19:30 - 20:30
The Molinari Quartet presents a three day event around composer Franghiz Ali-Zadeh.
Composer Franghiz Ali-Zadeh is an internationally renowned composer whose works create bridges between the music from her native South-Western Asian roots and Western music. She is also a concert pianist, artistic director of music festivals and is regularly called upon to be on the jury of international competitions.
Round table discussion : Folklore in contemporary music.
The music of Ali-Zadeh is very much influenced by Azerbaijani music as well as by the national music of neighboring countries. Are today’s young composers still bond by the music of their native land? Is this path outdated and does it belong to the past generations? Has globalization reached classical music?
Guests: Franghiz Ali-Zadeh, Ana Sokolovic, Nicolas Gilbert, Jonathan Goldman and Maxime McKinley.
The roundtable discussion will take place in the Recital Hall of the Montreal Conservatory.
Free admission.
