UKARIA Cultural Centre presents: Tamara-Anna Cislowska with Rainer Jozeps

SILENCE AND THE PIANO

‘The music is not in the notes, but in the silence between’ – Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756–1791)

“In our contemporary world, silence and stillness are rare commodities: they create the necessary conditions for introspection, allowing us to commune with the starved, neglected parts of ourselves. […]

Join Tamara and Rainer for a guided meditation through contemplative works by Brahms, Liszt, Rachmaninov, Arvo Pärt and Pēteris Vasks. Before and after each piece, silence will fill the auditorium, culminating in John Cage’s 4’33” – a work known by many, mocked by some, and widely misunderstood. In a COVID-19 world, it assumes an extraordinary relevance: when experienced and shared intentionally, silence can be transcendental.”
