Celebration! expands the 2024 ICA ClarinetFest theme “Every Clarinetist is Connected” to a global scale and across many instruments. The interactive audiovisual work asks the audience to submit questions regarding their birth countries, where they have lived, and where they have traveled. The music features musicians from around the world who share the musical traditions that have meaning to them. Clarinet lines explore and develop these melodies while the electronics accompany and bridge the melodies with subtle nods to both traditional musics and to EDM. The work was co-composed by Dylan Findley and Csaba Jevtic-Somlai and features melodic contributions by Shuang Zhu, Handel Gyuri, Regina Tanujaya, Eduardo Frigatti, La Guacamaya Collective, and Kwan Leung Ling (in order of appearance).
To be premiered at the ICA ClarinetFest, Ecocem Room, Dublin Convention Centre, Dublin Ireland by Dylan Findley and Csaba Jevtic-Somlai.
