Tutti Cantabile: Four Elements
This programme is held in Hungarian.
The Tutti Cantabile vocal ensemble, applying for the Interdisciplinary Arts Call, brings to the House of Music’s Sound Dome a reimagined version of their Four Elements concert series presented in 2023, which processes the story of the Persian creation myth by presenting musical works that evoke and rhyme with the moods of the events of creation. In the Sound Dome, the choir’s music is complemented with visual content, drawing the listener into an extended audiovisual experience in a unique way.
Tutti Cantabile’s performance entitled Four Elements is a special, meditative journey following the Persian creation myth. The concert presents the birth of human existence through the ancient symbolism of earth, water, fire and air – simultaneously in music, light, and projected images. The Sound Dome’s 360° visual space and 3D sound system create an almost womb-like, intimate experience, where live singing voices and instruments flow around the audience as a river of sound. The carefully composed musical arc leads from chaos to order: from noise, sound is born, then harmony, and finally the “fifth element” – the uplifting experience of music and communal singing. The performance is accompanied by unique animations, symbolic play of light and the visual embodiment of the elements. The visual world, inspired by cave paintings, ancient symbols and natural textures, makes the process of creation tangible: from the solidity of earth, through the flow of water, to the shaping power of fire and the invisible lightness of air. Four Elements is not merely a concert – it is a sensuous, meditative performance that invites the search for inner harmony, a rethinking of our relationship to ourselves and to nature, and an attitude of cultural openness. Whoever enters the Sound Dome will, for a good half hour, step out of everyday life and become part of an ancient yet profoundly contemporary story. We recommend it to everyone who is open to special audiovisual experiences, spirituality, the power of choral music and dialogue between cultures.
