Ensemble Eclat Regular Concert, Fragments of Melody: Autumn Mosaic

[Performance Introduction] Since its establishment, Ensemble Éclat has consistently explored contemporary music and major 20th-century repertoire, presenting distinctive programming. In this regular concert, under the theme "Fragments of Melody: Autumn Mosaic," the ensemble aims to showcase works from different historical periods and musical perspectives on a single stage. The 20th century was a period in which music moved away from traditional tonality and form, exploring new sounds, rhythms, harmonies, and relationships between instruments, thereby creating diverse musical languages. This concert illuminates the flow of these changes through works by Igor Stravinsky, Erwin Schulhoff, Rebecca Clarke, and Anton Webern. Through this performance, Ensemble Éclat seeks to enable audiences to experience the experimentalism and artistry of 20th-century music in a more accessible way, and to share the new attractions and possibilities of contemporary chamber music through the diverse resonances created when different musical languages meet. [Program] I. Stravinsky - Three Pieces for String Quartet E. Schulhoff - Duo for Violin and Cello R. Clarke - Prelude, Allegro and Pastorale for Clarinet and Viola A.
