This event marks the opening concert of the BERG Orchestra's new season, featuring the Czech premiere of Aurélien Dumont's 'WhatsPop'. The performance blends contemporary music with pop culture, philosophy, and literature, utilizing a demanding vocal part and unconventional instruments.
The BERG Orchestra opens its new season with the highly anticipated Czech premiere of 'WhatsPop', a "psychedelico-lyrical fresco" by French composer Aurélien Dumont. This performance is a vibrant exploration at the intersection of contemporary music, pop culture, philosophy, and literature. The piece features an exceptionally demanding vocal part that navigates a wide array of musical styles and vocal registers, ranging from Renaissance influences to modern rock and noise. Adding to its unique character, the performance incorporates unusual "instruments" such as a toaster, typewriter, and hairdryer. A central element of 'WhatsPop' is the dialogue between the singer and a selected personality; for this premiere, the guest will be music journalist Pavel Klusák. The BERG Orchestra itself is a distinguished Czech ensemble renowned for performing contemporary music, having commissioned and premiered nearly three hundred new works and having received the prestigious Prix Italia award.
