Ergon Ensemble
Madness
Ergon Ensemble returns to the Athens Festival with a performance on the theme of madness. Paris Mexis directs three classics of the contemporary music repertoire, performed by the much-vaunted baritone Holger Falk and the rising soprano Artemis Bogri, under the baton of the permanent associate of the team, internationally acclaimed conductor Kasper De Roo. Audiences will enjoy Iannis Xenakis’ Cassandra (1987) for baritone and percussion, which forms part of the composers’ remarkable opera, Oresteia. Thomas Larcher’s My Illness Is the Medicine I Need is a piece for soprano, piano, violin, and cello (2002/2013), based on inner monologues of mental patients. Peter Maxwell Davies’ Eight Songs for a Mad King (1969), for a male voice and an ensemble, explores the mental illness of King George III of the United Kingdom.
