Who Is Now Silent? 誰欲還聽若罔聞
聽聽與我們同處一宿的奇珍和生靈——將啟迪大家一起捍衛牠們、保護牠們。普立茲獎得主、自幼在阿拉斯加郊外成長且致力於環保運動的作曲家約翰・路德・亞當斯，為我們寫下大自然之樂調。柏林愛樂樂團卡拉揚學院的指揮和作曲家格力哥・邁賀法為全球昆蟲數量銳減問題引起關注，特意創作了《昆蟲協奏曲》，將古典樂器的聲音與昆蟲的「歌曲」相結合，提示人與自然之間平衡實在到達非常嚴峻的處境。
曲目
約翰・路德・亞當斯：《闃無一人，更無風》（2017）亞洲首演
在阿拉斯加度過大半生後，我現在以索諾蘭沙漠為家。
「闃無一人，更無風」是我對空間、寂靜以及沙漠的靜止與光明的體驗。
此作有如我最近的所有音樂，以時間分層和物理空間為核心元素，樂器間距寬裕，並有六個同時進行的節奏。
作品名稱是由墨西哥偉大詩人帕茲詩詞變化而成。帕茲在《原生石》中寫道：
No hay nadie no siquiera tú mismo （意思是「闃無一人，更無你」。）
我更進一步，不僅將自己從作品中消除，甚至把最後一人——風——也消去。

格力哥・邁賀法：昆蟲協奏曲（室樂版本 2019）亞洲首演
格力哥・邁賀法的作品《昆蟲協奏曲》儘管感覺詼諧，內容卻深刻地描畫人類活動對昆蟲的危害。邁賀法領會到祖國德國的昆蟲的生存正受到嚴重威脅，於是研究了多種昆蟲的叫聲，將其轉錄成節奏母題和旋律片段並創出混合的「音樂語言」，將嘈吵的蟲鳴世界與傳統樂器結合成為協奏曲的基礎。他希望作品能引起聽眾的興趣，鼓勵他們與正在迅速消失的自然世界重建關係。

Who Is Now Silent?
Hear our planet’s wild beauty and power - and be inspired to fight to help protect it. Pulitzer Prize-winning composer John Luther Adams, who spent his youth in the wilds of Alaska as an environmental activist, writes music deeply in tune with the natural world. Gregor Mayrhofer’s Insect Concerto, written to create awareness about a worldwide decline of insect populations, highlights a special urgency about biodiversity loss and its impact on our ecosystem.
Programme
John Luther Adams: there is no one, not even the wind (2017) Asian Premiere
After living in Alaska for much of my life, I now make my home in the Sonoran Desert.
there is no one, not even the wind comes directly from my experience of the space and solitude, the stillness and light of the desert.
Like all my recent music, this piece embraces layered time and physical space as central elements. The instruments are widely dispersed, and there are six simultaneous tempos.
The title is a variation on words of the great Mexican poet Octavio Paz. His poem Piedra Nativa (Native Stone) contains this line:
No hay nadie no siquiera tú mismo (which translates: “There is no one, not even yourself”).
I take this one step further and remove not only myself, but even that very last person – the wind.

Gregor A. Mayrhofer: Insect Concerto - Ensemble version (2019) Asian Premiere
Despite appearing to be comical in nature, Gregor Mayrhofer’s Insect Concerto is a profound reflection on the impact human activities has had on the endangerment of insects. Inspired by the severe situation of insects in his native Germany, Mayrhofer researched and transcribed a variety of insect calls into rhythmic motifs and melodic fragments – a hybrid “musical language, which links the noisy world of the insect swarm with our traditional instruments” – forming the foundations of this Concerto. The work, as Mayrhofer emphasises, is an appeal to the listeners, to reconnect with the natural world around us, one that is vanishing at an alarming rate.

3 Thousand RIVERS: Voices in the Forest
維陀・嘉瑪《三千河川：森林之聲》
葡萄牙語及西班牙語演唱，設英文字幕
電影放映後「演後藝人談」環節，將由香港創樂團藝術總監凌藝廉於網上與創作者維陀・嘉瑪即時對話，探討以藝術引導有關環保議題的關注及倡議。
劇情概述
《三千河川：森林之聲》透過多媒體歌劇的形式，以及哥倫比亞和巴西亞馬遜河流域人們的角度，讓觀眾一窺熱帶雨林所受到的社會和環境破壞。為了聆聽直接遭受影響的人群的聲音，團隊在創作過程中與普圖馬約省、卡奎塔省、喬科省和帕拉省的一些主要河流沿岸原著民社群緊密合作。維陀・嘉瑪首齣足本多媒體歌劇改編自已故哥倫比亞人類學家羅伯托・法蘭科的著作《邪惡的白人》。內容描述 1969 年時，白人殖民者逼使在哥倫比亞亞馬遜河普萊河一帶自願與世隔絕的尤里族人與其暴力衝突。一個家庭被軍隊扣作人質在拉佩德雷拉市拘留了幾個月。經一位法國記者介入和國際社會施加壓力後，一家之主卡拉巴羅（綁架者因他長得像一位著名哥倫比亞拳擊手而為其取此名字）成功讓自己和家人脫困並重返部落的群居竹人。尤里族人至今仍自願與世隔絕。《三千河川》獲哥倫比亞亞馬遜保育團隊、「更多藝術・更多行動」和 Flora ars + natura 支持，由克勞斯親王基金和卡洛斯特・古本金基金會委約創作，並由 PangeiArt 製作。
角色
伊迪阿：耶撒貝爾・阿里阿斯・費南德茲（女高音）
美尼索斯：貝蒂・加西斯（女高音）
伊迪阿和美尼索斯兩位大洋女神不僅歌唱森林自然、川河以及社會和環境受到的衝擊，也化身森林裡棲息者，將他們的遭遇娓娓唱來。亞馬遜河流域的人們已在該地域自給自足地生活了數千年，而大洋女神則代表著這些人的抵抗和世界觀。
希臘和羅馬神話中的大洋女神是大洋河神俄刻阿諾斯和海洋女神忒提斯的女兒，棲息於人類無法到達的深海中。大洋女神有後代三千川河，因此象徵著水的豐饒，可以養活所有動物並成為所有植物的汁液。
奧卡族：懷拉・妮娜・赫卡納米豪伊
傳統印加誦唱
在印加的世界觀裡，哥倫比亞的奧卡族棲息於森林中的透明生物。奧卡族人可隱身觀察一切，唯有他們願意時才會現身於他人眼前。
卡拉巴羅：海米・洛柏斯・奇利也特奇
梅路易-梅那族傳統歌曲
1969年白人和普蕾河一帶自願與世隔絕的部落首次遇上和發生衝突。一個家庭被軍隊扣作人質在拉佩德雷拉市拘留數月。一家之主卡拉巴羅（綁架者因他長得像一位著名哥倫比亞拳擊手而為其取此名字）成功讓自己和家人脫困並重返部落的群居竹人。該部落至今仍自願與世隔絕。

3 Thousand RIVERS: Voices in the Forest
Sung in Portuguese and Spanish with English subtitles
*After the screening there will be a meet-the-artist session. William Lane, HKNME Artistic Director, and Angus Lee, HKNME Programme Manager, will be in dialogue with Victor Gama, joining through the internet, speak on arts as an advocacy for raising awareness on environmental issues.
Synopsis
3 thousand RIVERS: Voices in the Forest is a multimedia opera that offers a perspective on the social and environmental destruction of the rainforests through the lens of people living in the Amazon in Colombia and Brazil. The work has been developed in close partnership with indigenous communities along some of the main rivers in the Putumayo, Caquetá, Chocó and Pará to hear the voices of those who suffer these impacts first hand. Victor Gama's first full-length multimedia opera is based on the late Colombian anthropologist Roberto Franco's book Cariba Malo. It describes the story of a white settler who in 1967 forced a violent encounter with the Yuri, an indigenous people who live in voluntary isolation in the Puré river in the Colombian Amazon. A family was taken hostage by the army and detained for months in La Pedrera. Through the intervention of a French journalist and pressures from the international community, Caraballo, the head of the family (named by his captors because he resembled a famous Colombian boxer) managed to free himself and his family and return to the tribe's malouca. The Yuri remain in voluntary isolation to this day. 3 thousand Rivers was supported by environmental and artist's organizations Amazon Conservation Team Colombia, Mas Arte Mas Acción and Flora ars+natura, commissioned by the Prince Claus Fund and the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation and produced by PangeiArt.
Characters
Idia: Yetzabel Arias Fernandez - soprano
Menesthos: Betty Garces – soprano
Idia and Menesthos are two Oceanides who sing the nature of the forest, their rivers and their current dramas and simultaneously assume the role of some of the testimonies of the forest dwellers. They represent the resistance and the worldview of the peoples originating in the Amazon and who have lived there sustainably for thousands of years.
In Greek and Roman mythology, Oceanides are the ocean nymphs, daughters of Oceanus and Thetis and inhabit the deep and inaccessible seas. The Oceanides had 3,000 rivers as their offspring, thus embodying the fecundity of the water that feeds all animals and forms the sap of all plants.
Auka: Waira Nina Jacanamijoy
traditional Inga chant
In the Inga worldview, an Amazonian people currently living in Colombia, the Aukas are invisible beings that inhabit the forest. The Aukas can observe all without being seen, are transparent therefore, and only manifest and become visible when they so wish.
Caraballo: Jaime Lopez Kiriyateke
Murui-Muina traditional song
In a first contact with a tribe in voluntary isolation in the Park of the Pure River in 1969, a family was taken hostage by the army and retained for months in La Pedrera. Caraballo, the head of the family (named by his captors because he resembled a famous Colombian boxer) managed to free himself and his family and return to the tribe's malouca who remain in voluntary isolation to this day.
