Violinist, composer and interdisciplinary artist Katie Mosehauer bridges centuries of musical expression on her evocative new composition ‘Converging Tides (after Liszt)’, an ambitious exploration of transformation, collective progress and the enduring influence of classical music.
The piece forms part of ‘Water Remembers I: The Current Carries’, the opening instalment of her four-part audiovisual series.
Drawing inspiration from Franz Liszt’s celebrated ‘Consolations, S. 172: No. 3’, ‘Converging Tides’ transforms the composer’s musical foundations into an expansive contemporary arrangement, weaving layered violins, violas, synthesisers and intricate electronic sound design into a richly textured composition.
Influenced by her extensive experience in criminal justice reform and social justice advocacy, the composition also reflects on the fragility of progress and the importance of sustained collective action.
With this new offering, Katie Mosehauer delivers an imaginative meeting of classical tradition and contemporary experimentation, demonstrating how music from the past can still inspire powerful new perspectives on the present.
