MATER NATURA, from France to latin America

Presentation Programmation & distribution Video

To mark the bicentenary of Peru's independence, and as part of his artistic residency with the National Symphony Orchestra of Peru and in partnership with ensemble 2e2m, Peruvian composer Juan Arroyo is proposing the composition of an orchestral fresco entitled Mater Natura.

This new symphonic work is a Concerto for ensemble, orchestra and electronics, lasting around 20 minutes. It will be premiered in Lima during the Experimenta festival by the National Symphony Orchestra of Peru and the musicians of the 2e2m ensemble, and in Ile de France by the 2e2m ensemble and the orchestra of the Pôle supérieur d'enseignement artistique Paris/Boulogne-Billancourt et du Pôle Sup'93, under the direction of the French conductor Léo Margue.
Composed of four offerings, each associated with a solo instrument, Mater Natura is part of Juan Arroyo's ongoing exploration of sound hybridisation. Each soloist brings a different colour to the orchestra.
