This program brings together music from different eras, cultures, and artistic traditions, creating a dialogue that transcends geographical and historical boundaries. At its center are new works by composers Nirmali Fenn and Neo Hülcker, presented alongside traditional Mongolian music and inviting the audience to experience different musical languages in relation to one another.

The program is complemented by works by Pauline Oliveros and Hildegard von Bingen, whose music opens unique perspectives on listening, spirituality, and the human voice. Across nearly a thousand years, their compositions trace an arc that reveals surprising connections between contemporary music and ancient musical traditions.

Together, these works form a multilayered sonic fabric that explores themes of resonance, memory, ritual, and cultural exchange. In moments of intimacy, contemplation, and discovery, Sound of the Steppe, Sound of Time celebrates music as a shared language that can connect worlds without losing sight of the distinct identity of each tradition.
