The programme includes:
Echo des Baleines by Simon d'Hooghe: whale song, solemn and meditative like a Gregorian hymn.
Childhood Scene by Ioannis Dimopoulos: a playful evocation of a distant childhood memory.
Chaconne by Ioannis Dimopoulos: an Estonian melody unfolds through repetition into a moving lament, with a recurring bass line.
The work follows the chaconne principle: an unchanging bass line returns cyclically while the melody develops.
