23/24 Season

2023/24 Season

THE ABAKAN MORPHING SERIES
IS DEDICATED TO POLISH ARTIST
MAGDALENA ABAKANOWICZ (1930-2017)

whose Abakan woven sculptures inspired this
project series. Music Director Zvonimir Hačko who
curated the series, explores the tension between

the pieces, styles, and sounds of selected con-
temporary pieces of music and their subsequent

morphing into perceived musical abstractions or
shapes when placed in the context of the same
time-space environment.
