This first Paris concert by the Trio Catch brings together five compositions. By Claude Vivier, two of the eight pieces he intended for a competition; by Gérard Pesson, the virtuosic and playful Catch Sonata; by the young Hungarian composer Márton Illés, Three Watercolors; and finally by Isabel Mundry, who was first invited by the Festival d’Automne, an ambitious work, Sounds, Archeologies, composed in 2017 for the Trio Catch: “what does you make of it when across from your home rises up from a dormitory for refugees calls to prayer, noise music, African chants, and radio broadcasts of the Bayreuth Festival, forcing one to reconsider a politics of listening and to reinvent the archetypes of our musical history, like an archeologist observing a figurine from elsewhere?”
