Patricia Kopatchinskaja: La Lontananza Nostalgica Utopica Futura

Patricia Kopatchinskaja, “one of classical music’s great risk-takers” (Bachtrack), brings to life the music of 20th-century Marxist and anti-fascist composer Luigi Nono in the galleries of the Walker exhibition Nairy Baghramian: Déformation Professionnelle. The fiery Moldovan violinist performs La Lontananza Nostalgica Utopica Futura, a work for violin and electronics inspired by an inscription found on a monastery in Toledo, Spain. Kopatchinskaja lends a contemporary perspective to Nono’s mid-century cry for meaningful political change. Copresented with the SPCO’s Liquid Music Series.
