Le Transcontemporain: Depths – Vochora Season 2026–2027

Description

The human voice withstands centuries, systems, and theories. It predates every instrument, transcends every codified language, and surpasses every musical institution. Works by Arvo Pärt, Kaija Saariaho, Joseph Dall’Abaco, Vittoria Aleotti, Georges Aperghis, and Lucas Sonzogni for vocal quartet and cello. Conducted by Lucas Sonzogni.

The human voice withstands the passage of centuries, systems, and theories. It predates every instrument, transcends every codified language, and rises above every musical institution. From Franco-Flemish polyphony to electroacoustic experimentation, from medieval monody to contemporary creations, the voice remains the primal instrument—the most vital and the most profoundly human. It is this vocation that *Le Transcontemporain* has embraced as its framework: the choir serves as a living laboratory for a modernity that is still seeking its words—and often finding them in the union of distinctive voices.
