Despite their very different artistic backgrounds, the three prizewinners we are celebrating in the opening concert share a great musical imaginative power. Inspired by Mediterranean cultures, Uday Krishnakumar creates a fictional art music tradition. Irene Galindo Quero unfolds a telepathic communication between two parallel worlds through sensitive threads of sound, while Philipp Krebs, with great gesture, cranks up an ensemble machinery that increasingly picks up speed, from which individuals repeatedly detach themselves as impulse generators.
