Barbara Drazkov, Julia Szproch, Tsubasa Hori: ‘Rumi Rituals’

  • Palazzo - Creative Workspace 190 Rue Théodore Verhaegen Saint-Gilles, Bruxelles, 1060 Belgium (map)

The next DAS HAUS concert promises to do exactly what we stand for; make you think, help you breathe, encounter yourself and connect to others. For the very first time, composer Szymon Brzóska, pianist Barbara Drazkov and soprano Julia Szproch join forces with Japanese percussionist Tsubasa Hori to create a new, exciting musical universe inspired by the poetry of Persian poet Rumi. Brzóska, committed to writing a new song cycle for the occasion, displays a lightness and lyricism that perfectly intertwines with the mesmerising rhythms and energy of Hori's Japanese taiko drums.

Every audience member is invited to take part in this drawn-out ritual where poetry meets music and meditation. This performance strives to explore universal truths about love and death, resonating with light and energy, aiming to bring a moment of ease and hope in these dark, uncertain times.

Brzóska is excited about the collaboration: "Exploring my deep interest in Rumi’s poetry, its universality and timelessness, I attempt to present it in a modern context by translating it into a new musical language based on a combination of different music styles. The cycle of “Rumi Songs” attempts to unify both classical instruments like piano and soprano voice with oriental Japanese instruments like taikos and Kyujo Orin."
