Letter to the future
PSALLENTES & REVUE BLANCHE
Usually the music they excel in lies about half a millennium apart, but for this project, Revue Blanche and Psallentes have gone in search of common ground. They found it in Italy, with music by the somewhat enigmatic but always poetic Salvatore Sciarrino and texts by another somewhat enigmatic but always poetic Italian, Francesco Petrarch. This star of the Renaissance wrote a letter about himself and his ideas, addressed ‘to the future’ (Epistola Posteritati). It gave the musicians of both ensembles cause to reflect on how we ourselves view the past, present and future. This intense project is their artistic letter to the future. A future in which humanity is key, and hopefully one in which we will genuinely care for each other.
