Manfred Trojahn premiere at the Festival "Nuova consonanza" in Rome

(25.11.2013) Pier Paolo Pasolini’s Le ceneri di Gramsci (Gramsci’s Ashes), is the starting point of Manfred Trojahn’s latest work for baritone and ensemble. Pasolini’s text seems, says Trojahn, “to be a burning necessity to me now. For we, like Pasolini at that time, have chosen art and not socially useful work.” A visit to Antonio Gramsci’s grave in Rome, the guiding intellectual force of the Italian Communists, became the starting point for a contemplation of ideology and passion. Dietrich Henschel and the Ensemble musikFabrik, conducted by Peter Rundel, give the first performance of the monodrama on 13 December 2013 in Rome at the “Nuova consonanza” Festival. The Austrian premiere takes place on 18 December in the Konzerthaus in Vienna.
