Conceived as an homage to composer Sofia Gubaïdulina (1931–2025), Sofia gathers chamber formations to inhabit intimate domestic rooms and perform a curated selection from her expansive chamber-music repertoire. Pieces are chosen to multiply listening instants and to revive the private character of chamber music. Prepared in collaboration with professors from the Haute École de Musique and performed by their students, the project pairs careful scenography and subtle sound devices to awaken curiosity and encourage close, attentive listening.
The project is organised by Ensemble Vide, an interdisciplinary platform for contemporary music and artistic research.
