This event is part of a series of four intimate concerts at Yeshin Norbu Meditation Centre in Stockholm featuring original work by artists who engage in meditation practices across a variety of Buddhist traditions.

About the pieces:

The three pieces for violin performed by Maya Bennardo in this concert highlight three different ways of relating to emptiness. The first piece, ‘Förglömda toner’ (Forgotten tones), uses quiet, plain tones articulated through sparse melodic variations and suspended over contrasting, extended silences. The second piece, ‘Duk med broderi och bordets kant’ (Embroidered cloth and table’s edge), seeks instead to establish a continuum between pure tones and indeterminacy by moving between silence, hushed white noises, noiseful half-harmonics, harmonics, and simple tones. The third piece, ‘Anantachāritra’ (Boundless practice), takes a different approach and has the violin play against a sustained sound, slowly nudging different nodes to reveal the background environment as an interconnected, lyrical, resonant structure.

Bearthoven premieres the program ‘a stony place where birches grow’, consisting of Maya Bennardo’s ‘ as the swallows fly’ and Kristofer Svensson’s ‘Mellan vita stammar’

Maya Bennardo is a founding member of the violin/viola duo andPlay and a member of the internationally acclaimed Mivos Quartet. She also performs new and traditional repertoire for violin and piano with pianist Karl Larson in their Bennardo/Larson Duo. Maya's compositions are characterized by slow, unfolding timbral movements exploring the co-existence of pitch and noise. Her compositions have grown naturally out of her improvisational practice on the violin, and the two continue to inform each other.
