marlis neumann harp | takeo sato guitar | iris lichtinger flutes & soprano
sagette is French for "arrow" ... the association of the arrow of Eros, but also of Sagittarius the archer, who spans the connection between earth and sky, inspired the ensemble to this name.
The concert's musical selection spans works from the baroque and modern periods. With composers from Japan, England, America, France, Germany and Italy, it offers a broad survey of human creativity, sensitivities and aesthetic points of view... Christmas string and flute sounds with le duo sagette from the times of Leopold and Wolfgang Mozart and beyond... The focus is on new music from Japan, which translates the tension between ultra-modernity and Zen tradition, between change at top speed and lingering in the perpetual now, into exciting sounds...
