Feet Become Ears Vol. 5- Anzû Quartet & Anthony Romaniuk

In the organizer's words:

English below

"Take a walk at night. Walk so silently that the bottom of your feet become ears." - Inspired by the spirit of Pauline Oliveros, Feet Become Ears brings together a new generation of composers and musicians exploring how and where we listen and what we expect from contemporary music. Rooted in minimalism and post-minimalism, the collective builds on achievements of the American avant-garde and creates space for open, curious and connective listening. Feet Become Ears returns in 2025 with a new season exclusively in Leipzig. Three concerts will bring together one solo artist and one ensemble.
The Anzû Quartet is a New York-based ensemble dedicated entirely to the music of today. Inspired by Olivier Messiaen's Quatuor pour la fin du temps, it commissions and performs new works for the same instrumentation as well as reinterpretations of the original. Since its foundation in 2020, Anzû has performed in Europe and the USA, working with composers such as Anna Webber and Mario Diaz de Leon. The members-Olivia De Prato, Ashley Bathgate, Ken Thomson and Karl Larson-are leading voices in the contemporary music scene, shaping formations such as Bang on a Can All-Stars, Mivos Quartet and Ensemble Signal.
Anthony Romaniuk is a genre-fluid pianist whose musical voice combines his classical training with a love of jazz, early music, improvisation and experimental sounds. Equally confident on piano, harpsichord or synthesizer, he performs worldwide as a soloist and chamber musician, collaborating with Patricia Kopatchinskaja and Vox Luminis, among others. His acclaimed solo albums on Alpha Classics explore the boundaries of the classical repertoire through bold programming and sonic diversity.
