zezek [зек – russ. Convict] deals with texts written in prison by Maxim Zink and other authors, which form a thread from the prisoners to freedom, to self-determined communication, to their survival and our knowledge of their life situation. zek #2 commemorates the fate of Masha Kalesnikava, Maxim Znak and other political prisoners.

For zek#2, the Argentinian composer Jorge Chikiar composed his experimental multimedia microopera "Entre Líneas" for performers, objects and electric agitators, which will be premiered at Gedok Stuttgart.

Maria Kalesnikava bei ihrer Verurteilung
Maria Kolesnikova, the last remaining protest leader still in Belarus, gestures inside the defendants' cage at the opening of her trial on charges of undermining national security, conspiring to seize power and creating an extremist group, in Minsk on August 4, 2021. - Kolesnikova, a 39-year-old former flute player in the country's philharmonic orchestra and the only protest leader still in Belarus, has become a symbol of the protest movement in Belarus where Lukashenko, in power since 1994, has been cracking down on opponents since unprecedented protests erupted after last year's elections, deemed unfair by the West.

Inaugural Concert Prof. Karolin Schmitt-Weidmann

Thursday 06/27/2024

STUTTGART

7 pm

HMDK Stuttgart
Urbanstrasse 25
70182 Stuttgart

Karolin Schmitt-Weidmann plays works by Osorio, Oliveros, Saariaho and Stroppa. She dedicates the performance of "little i" to Maria Kalesnikava with the following words:

Dear Maria,
Since I took up my professorship at the HMDK Stuttgart last winter semester, you seem to have accompanied me in a certain way. My close colleague, Klaus Dreher, gave me the book Zekamerone, Piet Meyer and Marco Stroppa told me that you have performed the piece "little i" several times - a piece that I am playing in my inaugural concert. We were born in the same year, play the same instrument and have a similar focus (new music, early music). I hope very much that one day we will meet in good health and in freedom!
Karolin
