Jo Kondo (1947- )
Lotus Dam (voice, violin)
Shie Shoji (voice), Stelios Chatziiosifidis (violin)
The poem Lotus Dam by Les Murray, describes the cycle of life of the lotus flower that exists in balance with the elements of nature and thus always remains still and peaceful. In analogy, the two musical lines intertwine in an equally peaceful manner giving the sensation of a static movement achieved through the rhythmic misalignment.
Performed at Thessaloniki Concert Hall, 10 December 2014
Supported by the Hellenic-Japanese Association.
Under the auspices of the Japanese Embassy.
