Homage to Martha Graham

Ramon Humet (Barcelona, 1968)  will perform a cycle of 80-minute songs of soprano, piano, shakuhachi flute, four percussionists and dance based on the poem Homenaje a Martha Graham ‏by Mario Lucarda as a homage to Martha Graham. 

Humet contrasts the intricacy and refinement of nine songs for soprano and piano with ten instrumental ‎interludes mediatius (meditative interludes) conceived as spaces ‎for release and creates a primal and primitive counterbalance to the density and ‎expressiveness of the series of songs.

The premiere incorporates the commission of a ‎choreography created by Virginie Mécène, performed by the outstanding PeiJu Chien-Pott, a ‎soloist with the Martha Graham Dance Company. A magnificent ensemble will perform the ‎score: soprano Sarah Maria Sun, pianist Alberto Rosado, shakuhachi maestro Kakizakai Kaoru ‎and Neopercusión.

• Sarah Maria Sun, soprano
