15 Aug. 2023; Myriader af tabte minder
The project is about lost childhood memories of the Danish soprano Ly Tran. She was born in Vietnam and came to Denmark with her family as boat refugees at the age of six. Danish is her main language and even though she still speaks Vietnamese, she has no memories from the time before she was able to speak Danish. She lost memory of her first 6 years. She has written a text based on stories gathered from her family for this project and she also recorded her mother singing Vietnamese lullabies her mother used to sing for her. Nor does she remember this. The composer Aya Yoshida quotes these elements as a part of her music. ————————— 8月15日、デンマークの音楽祭Rudersdal Sommerkoncerterで新作”Myriader af tabte minder (Myriads of lost memories)”が世界初演される。 聞いたことのない音楽の夢を見られる? 帰り道を失った故郷への足跡を辿る旅。 海の上の7日間、初めて聞く子守唄で眠る。 ————————— 記憶って本当にそこにあったとか、そこにいたとかを確かめるためのものでなく、そうだったのかもしれないと淡い水色グレー色みたいな期待を持ち続けて今を生きるためにあるんだと思う。 【World Premiere】 Aya Yoshida, composer Ly Tran, soprano @nonblondvagabond , Visual Design ————————— The piece is realised through The Fair Practice Award 2022 by @danskkomponistforening .
