As part of CAMPLE LINE’s Summer 2019 Edition, Florian Kaplick will perform Kurt Schwitters’ sound poem Ursonate, a vocal piece consisting of four movements, an overture and finale. Schwitters began writing Ursonate in 1922 and first performed it in 1925 before publishing it in 1932 as ‘Sonate in Urlauten’ (Sonata in Primordial Sounds).
In a special event to mark the closing of Heather Ross’ installation The Loud and the Soft Speakers, musician and performer Florian Kaplick (the main protagonist in Ross’s installation) will give a live performance of Kurt Schwitter’s two most iconic works. This will include a performance of Schwitters’ seminal sound poem The Ursonate (approx 40 mins) and a new interpretation of his famous poem An Anna Blume.
