The title of the concert was\u00a0<em>ALARM<\/em>\u00a0\/\u00a0<em>H2SO4.<\/em>\u00a0The latter label might suggest the band of that name, or something else again, such as a collection of Slovenian rebel poetry, but we were unable to find out, as there was no concert programme. The Ljubljana Festival must provide a programme rationale for all its events, even co-productions, and above all present them. People do not know many things by heart.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row-full-width vc_clearfix\"><\/div><div id=\"ut-row-6aed009c596b4\" data-vc-full-width=\"true\" data-vc-full-width-init=\"false\" class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid vc_column-gap-0 ut-row-6aed009c596c3\" ><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\" ><div id=\"ut_inner_column_6aed009c5a0a4\" class=\"vc_column-inner\" ><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\r\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\r\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"dc-text-paragraph\">\n<p>The concert was performed by the Symphony Orchestra\u00a0<span id=\"dc-kw-match-820\" class=\"dc-kw-match\">Music for the Future<\/span>\u00a0with conductor\u00a0<span id=\"dc-kw-match-850\" class=\"dc-kw-match\">\u017diva Ploj Per\u0161uh<\/span>\u00a0and the solo violinist Maja Horvat, and in the second half by the lead rapper Masayah, joined by numerous guests who gradually came on stage and joined the musical flow without a break, as did the commentary, this time of a more literary nature, without the singing and rapper-style dancing of Dr Igor Saksida.<\/p>\n<p>The concept of the concert for climate and social justice, Alarm \u2013\u00a0<em>H2SO4<\/em>\u00a0was created under the musical and artistic direction of\u00a0<span id=\"dc-kw-match-1295\" class=\"dc-kw-match\">\u017diva Ploj Per\u0161uh<\/span>\u00a0and directed by Matej Filip\u010di\u010d. The concert opened with a work for string orchestra and percussion, (Uncertain) Four Seasons \u2013 Ljubljana 2050 by Antonio Vivaldi and artificial intelligence algorithms. It is based on Vivaldi's music, likewise with a violin solo, but we heard many changes, so that what remained of Vivaldi were meaningful thematic or motivic quotations and the structure, complemented by a video projection of the \u201cseasons\u201d with supposedly typical photographs above the stage.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"dc-text-paragraph\">\n<p>The reworking of The Four Seasons was very interesting and flawlessly performed by both soloist and ensemble, with the necessary fire and skill, which is not to be taken for granted given the \u201cseductiveness\u201d of Vivaldi's familiar melodiousness. While listening, I had the impression that this reworking of Vivaldi was essentially a Ukrainisation of it, an alternation or alteration of tonality and rhythm, including jazz rhythm, and of a wartime mood with somewhat more militant inserts or symptoms.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"dc-text-paragraph\">\n<p>The violinist Maja Horvat was excellent and once again drew attention to her talent, while the conductor\u00a0<span id=\"dc-kw-match-2402\" class=\"dc-kw-match\">\u017diva Ploj Per\u0161uh<\/span>\u00a0had musical and interpretative tasks in addition to her organisational ones. All leadership roles suit her, so there is no need to fear any slackening in the future either.<\/p>\n<p>The online presentation of the concert did state that (Uncertain) Four Seasons \u2013 Ljubljana 2050 by Antonio Vivaldi and artificial intelligence algorithms is a direct sound picture of a severely damaged environment and the uncertain future of nature. One could agree with the dual meaning of the images, but we did not actually see any truly catastrophic images of nature, and so there was none of the horror that threatens us.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"dc-text-paragraph\">\n<p>\u201cOpen your eyes and speak up,\u201d was the message from the heralds of the younger generation, with Masayah, one of the most recognised artists on the Slovenian hip-hop scene, and the rappers Emkej, Drill, Slick, Vazz,\u00a0<em>N3,<\/em>\u00a0Matter Dacho, Tunja, \u017dena, La Bagra, Smirbe, Chiro and Ghet. At the end Zlatko also came on stage, although he had not been announced, while some others who had been announced, Ezra, Hyu and Leyre, did not, so it is not entirely clear who was there and who was missing. Things are not as self-evident and clear to everyone as the organisers thought. Nor is it clear whether the composer Matija Kre\u010di\u010d wrote the arrangements of the five songs for symphony orchestra accompaniment or not.<\/p>\n<p>In their own style, they activated, thematised and interpreted poems by our literary giants Pre\u0161eren, \u017dupan\u010di\u010d, Zajc, \u0160alamun and others, collected in a book of Slovenian rebel poetry and the album\u00a0<em>H2SO4.<\/em>\u00a0Of course, one might think that a good deal was added.<\/p>\n<p>They shared the stage, rapper-style, with the musicians of the international symphony orchestra\u00a0<span id=\"dc-kw-match-4160\" class=\"dc-kw-match\">Music for the Future<\/span>. This time in its largest line-up (the Vivaldi was for strings and percussion only).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTheir united voice is the spirit of the times, the voice of the future, hope and heart on offer,\u201d I read in the presentation of their performance. In any case, the concert was spontaneously convincing, both in the content of what was sung, full of witty ideas and topical issues from young people's lives, an equivalent of the reality of their thinking and behaviour, so that the young audience went wild with enthusiasm as each rapper came on stage. They were excellent.<\/p>\n<p>The entire rap performance was, of course, delivered without breaks; perhaps only the recited commentary by Dr Igor Saksida could be understood as a kind of \u201cintersection\u201d in this sense.<\/p>\n<p>At the end everyone had their photographs taken, especially the Ukrainian musicians, so that they will be able to send their photos home, wherever that is at all possible. But in Slovenia they are certainly not alone, and the greatest credit for that probably goes to the conductor\u00a0<span id=\"dc-kw-match-5205\" class=\"dc-kw-match\">\u017diva Ploj Per\u0161uh<\/span>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row-full-width vc_clearfix\"><\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Medij: Kritik.si Avtorji: Marijan Zlobec Datum: Sre., 8. jun. 2022 Povezava: https:\/\/kritik.si\/2022\/06\/08\/navdusujoc-koncert-za-podnebne-spremembe-in-kot-podpora-ukrajini\/ Hladno in de\u017eevno vreme je sino\u010di vplivalo na marsikoga, da se po plohi ni odpravil na koncert, tako da predvsem mlado ob\u010dinstvo ni povsem napolnilo Poletnega gledali\u0161\u010da v Kri\u017eankah na dobrodelnem Koncertu za podnebno in dru\u017ebeno pravi\u010dnost.
