SHANGHAI SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA PRESENTS
CONTEMPORALE
Curated by Split Works
China has many amazing buildings to experience a variety of music. Unfortunately, most are tragically closed for business to all but the biggest promoters, orchestras, and the beloved and ubiquitous acrobatic performances. All too often, these halls of sonic beauty lack the unique experiences independent artists can bring to its audiences.
With the inauguration of the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra’s new home, Split Works is privileged to partner with the SSO on a monthly concert series aimed at redressing this balance. This autumn, apart from the grandiosity of symphonic music, sparkling and neoteric sounds will reverberate around walls usually reserved for string quartets and horn sections. Neo as in folk, neo as in ambient, neo as in avant-garde continuous- piano.
From luminous labels like Erased Tapes, Unseen Worlds, Jagjaguar, and featuring artists from the Ukraine, Canada, and the U.S., Shanghai Symphony Orchestra and Split Works presents:
Contemporale…a project brought to you by the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra and curated by Split Works. Each month this autumn, a globally renowned contemporary artist will play the second and more intimate hall of this newly minted building in downtown Shanghai. Moonface, the alter-ego of Spencer Krug (Wolf Parade, Sunset Rubdown) will bring his anguished vocals and delicate piano accompaniment for the first concert in September, followed in October by Erased Tapes/Unseen Worlds’ Lubomyr Melnyk, the pioneer of the continuous piano technique. November will host the liquid molasses baritone of Bill Callahan (Smog) and the series will take a break for winter after the ambient soundscapes of Eluvium just before Christmas.
Split Works and the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra are excited to be working with these incredible artists and are overjoyed to be pioneering a new concept for China. See you at a Contemporale show soon!

上海交响乐团 呈现
CONTEMPORALE 当代变奏 系列演出
由 Split Works 策划
CONTEMPORALE，来自于Contemporary和Opera两个单词的组合，从字面上即可获知，这将是一次气质优雅的古典音乐和特立独行的当代流行音乐之间的碰撞。2014年9月，由Split Works策划，上海交响乐团呈现的“CONTEMPORALE 当代变奏”系列演出即将揭开帷幕。
中国拥有诸多气势恢宏的音乐厅，美中不足的是，在那里演出的通常都是大牌明星、大型交响乐队。独立音乐人所能带来的独特体验，在这些恢宏的建筑里却是缺失的。因为这样的原因，上海交响乐团音乐厅非常荣幸地可以与Split Works一起推出每月一次的合作演出，把独立音乐人的独特声音带回到音乐厅。这个秋冬季节，通常为管弦乐器预留的音乐厅将响彻独立音乐的璀璨精灵之音。
“CONTEMPORALE 当代变奏”系列演出由Split Works和上海交响乐团音乐厅联合推出，将每月呈现来自于乌克兰、加拿大、美国出色的独立厂牌Erased Tapes、Drag City、Jagjaguar、Unseen Worlds的音乐人。他们将在上海音乐厅刚装修完毕的演奏厅展现在新民谣、新氛围以及循环钢琴方面的卓越才华。
Wolf Parade成员Spencer Krug另组的Moonface会在即将到来的9月开启整个系列的首场演出，带来他细腻的钢琴和动人演唱；10月，循环钢琴演奏技法的先驱，来自Erased Tapes/Unseen Worlds厂牌的Lubomyr Melnyk则会带来这个系列第二场的演出。在11月，我们会迎来美国著名乐队Smog主唱Bill Callahan的醇厚男中音；而在圣诞到来之前，与天空大爆炸同一个厂牌的Eluvium则会带来精彩的极简氛围音乐表演。
能将这些极具才情的独立音乐艺术家带进上海交响乐团音乐厅让我们无比激动。感谢上海交响乐团的远见，让新古典的音乐概念来到中国。让我们在“CONTEMPORALE当代变奏”的演出上见！
