Commissions / Invitations

New Work

Canzonetta e.V. has commissioned a new 30 minute a cappella work to be premiered in the Zeiss-Großplanetarium Berlin by Kammerchor Canzoneo Berlin directed by Nils Jensen in fall 2024. Spatial aspects will play a role in the new piece. The choir will be arranged in different formations and will also move around the auditory.

Mariposa

"Mariposa" is a three-movement cycle for choir a cappella commissioned by Chamber Choir Consono directed by Harald Jers. The first movement ("A Una Mariposa Monarca", text by Homero Aridjis) was premiered in 2019. Due to the pandemic premieres of movements two and three were delayed. The second movement ("Viaje, vida", part of the texts particularly written for the piece by Julio Mendivil) will be premiered in 2023. The third movement will be premiered in a performance of the entire cycle in 2024 or 2025.
