FELIPE LARA (BR) "A lot of my compositional energy has been devoted to multidimentional treatment of musical material. The very same musical object may at any giving moment in the composition be submited to various contradicting treatments: intervalic (mobile), electroacoustic (modulations, spectral, spatialization), gestural, tone-color. With this approach I hope not to present subtle ruptures or juxtapositions, but to enrich my compositional palette with the "otherness" of each contrasting technique." FELIPE LARA was born in the state of Săo Paulo, Brazil in 1979. His music has been recently performed in Argentina, Brazil, Canada, England, Germany, Luxemburg, Switzerland, and the United States by ensembles such as the Arditti Quartet, Berkshire Symphony, Duo Diorama, International Contemporary Ensemble, Kammerensemble Neue Musik Berlin, New York Miniaturist Ensemble. Lara is currently a PhD candidate at New York University (GSAS) where he studied with Louis Karchin, Elizabeth Hoffman, and Mario Davidovsky. Additional studies in composition, computer-music, and orchestration with Tristan Murail at Columbia University, as well as lessons with Brian Ferneyhough, Helmut Lachenmann, Marco Stroppa, Michael Jarrell, Wolfgang Rihm, and Yan Maresz in international festival courses and festivals. His second string quartet < Tran(slate)> was the winner of the 2008 Staubach Preis in Darmstadt, Germany after the premier performance by the Arditti Quartet with the live-electronics of the Experimentalstudio SWR Freiburg. Two CDs including Lara's music will be released in Brazil in the Fall of 2008.In 2010 Peter Eötvös will premier of a new orchestral work commissioned by Donaueschingen Musiktage for their festival.
