DIRT

commissioned by flutist Pia Marei Hauser as part of the program Female Voices.

The program is centered around three pieces that Hauser premiered in 2023 as part of the digital concert series ELLE. The composers Cinzia Nistico (Italy/Netherlands), Feliz Anne Reyes Macahis (Philippines/Spain), and Jieun Jun (Korea/Germany) were invited to create new pieces in which they musically reflect on aspects of the feminine in music. The result is three very different piece, each placing a strong focus on the flutist’s voice — whispering, singing, and crying out, her voice blends with the sound of the flute.
These pieces are complemented by a composition of the Iranian composer Farzia Fallah: Posht-e-Hichestan — a piece based on text fragments by the Iranian poet Sohrab Sepehri—explores the place “beyond the no-land,” far away, inviting us to engage deeply and listen with great attention.
