Uz...u – ...lament

Andys Skordis

The world premiere of Andys Skordis' Uz...u – ...lament (2019), presented at Orgelpark in 2021, tells the dramatic story of a boat caught in a terrifying whirlpool. The music captures the tension, fear, and fleeting moments of hope, using recorder, panflute, viola, accordion, percussion, and harpsichord. A tale of struggle against nature, the piece explores both the physical and emotional turmoil of the journey.

The Black Pencil Prize 2020 winner, Andys Skordis, presents the world premiere of his composition Uz...u – ...lament (2019) during the Prix Annelie de Man at Orgelpark Amsterdam on 4 December 2021. The piece for recorder, panflute, viola, accordion, percussion, and harpsichord paints a vivid picture of a harrowing adventure at sea. The music tells the story of a small boat and its passengers, battling against a growing whirlpool that threatens to drag them into the ocean's depths. The music is both a struggle and a lament, filled with moments of tension, hope, and terror. The performers include Jorge Isaac (blockflute), Matthijs Koene (panflute), Esra Pehlivanli (viola), Marko Kassl (accordion), Enric Monfort (percussion), Ere Lievonen (harpsichord), and conducted by Gregory Charette.
