Work introduction
Hall of Mirrors showcases Kowalsky's distinct approach to music composition, which incorporates geometric structures and translates them into multi-dimensional soundscapes. It is a dynamic work that features a lot of polyrhythmic elements, creating a sense of energy and movement throughout. The interplay between the violin and cello creates a sonic dialogue, with the two instruments weaving in and out of each other's lines, creating a captivating musical conversation.
This duo was commissioned by "Feet become ears", a contemporary chamber music series in Germany, for their 2022/23 season and was premiered by Kontai Ensemble in Munich in January 2023.
