Loré Lixenberg Residency: Berberiana! A celebration of Cathy at 100
Cafè Oto, E8 3DL , [Venue Details]Rarely is the potential of the human voice harnessed in ways more perception-altering than the performances of Loré Lixenberg, a British mezzo-soprano who honed her vocal craft in relatively conventional channels but elected to use it in the realms of the bold avant-garde.
Cathy Berberian's revolutionary "New Vocality" went far beyond extended vocal techniques—she fundamentally reimagined the voice as a compositional force, dramatically extending both vocal techniques and the dramatic potential of singing whilst challenging traditional ideas about who gets to author a musical performance.
Her pioneering work laid crucial groundwork for understanding voice not simply as an instrument, but as a political and social agent capable of reshaping our sonic landscape based on her belief that "the singer should become the composer of the live performance”.

Programme includes pieces by Berberian, Acquaviva, Berio, Bussotti, Cage, including a performance of The Voice Party: 'The Parliament of Voices'.
