Description
Konvergencie LIVE
Recording from the concert on September 15, 2024, at the Grand Concert Studio of Slovak Radio during the 25th annual international chamber music festival Konvergencie
SÚZNENIE is a meeting of the charismatic Iva Bittová with three Slovak instrumentalists – cellist Jozef Lupták, clarinetist Branislav Dugovič and accordionist Boris Lenko – in a program based on improvisation. Exceptional musical dialogues, inspired by human and artistic closeness, creativity, and the compositional and improvisational experience of each of the musicians, promise an extraordinary experience. A playful, temperamental, fragile, unrepeatable, and uplifting harmony. At the premiere of the program as part of the 25th annual Konvergencie in Bratislava, in addition to the original themes, excerpts from works by J. S. Bach, Arvo Pärt, Marián Varga, and Astor Piazzolla were also spontaneously performed. Dialogues that need no words, just harmony – a unique moment you will want to be a part of.

A game for today, yesterday, or anytime tomorrow,
or
A game for today, tomorrow, or anytime yesterday,
but also
A game for tomorrow, when yesterday was today,
but especially
A game with imagination in the real environment of music, which we can call Bitt’s theory of relativity. During it, all the performers on stage exist, that is, they are, but at the same time they sound. In such a simple statement and almost childlike interpretation of the word harmony, however, in the case of Iva Bittová, Jozef Lupták, Boris Lenko, and Branislav Dugovič, there is a magical power of transformation of the materialized energy hidden in each of them into liberating creation.
