A Place Not Found (2024, premiere). Tatjana Kozlova-Johannes: sometimes we want to return to a place but discover that it no longer exists. Instead, it has been turned into a shopping mall or the old building has been demolished altogether, and the only things that remind us of it are a couple of apple trees. Sometimes the place we are looking for is not outside but inside us. In this piece this place was lightness.
Elegeia (2024, premiere) for kannel and pump organ. ‘Elegeia’ (‘elegy’ in Greek) – a song, poem or music that conveys internal sadness and grief brought on by loss, death, love or war and that may lead to consolation through acknowledging the value of what was lost.
To live in this world
you must be able
to do three things:
to love what is mortal;
to hold it against your bones knowing
your own life depends on it;
and, when the time comes to let it
go,
to let it go.
(Mary Oliver, “In Blackwater Woods”)
