Anna Kasprzycka
Carillon Concert
In the framework of Dodeka, 12 Works for 12 Cantons
- –
Inspired by Edith Dekyndt’s Provisory Object, carillonneur Anna Kasprzycka presents a new carillon concert as part of Dodeka.
Responding to the work’s exploration of ephemerality, the evening brings together music composed by women with Kasprzycka’s own improvisations.
Drawing on the fleeting nature of bells, the concert considers sound itself as a provisional object.
After the concert, Anna Kasprzycka invites audiences to discover the carillon of the Basilica of Echternach, offering an opportunity to encounter the instrument and its architecture up close.
