Curated by musician and sound artist Maya Khaldi; the first of two listening tours by artist Dina Shilleh will explore eavesdropping as a practice between surveillance and insurgency and explore the question of how different sonic fields and voices relate to power and hegemony. The tour will take place in the old city of Kufr Aqab (outside Ramallah) and will be site-specific. Transportation will be provided with departure from Goethe-Institut Ramallah.

As one prepares a piano by adding objects to its insides, Dina Shilleh adds installations to the walls, ceiling, floor and window of the space to create a variety of sounds needed for performing A Prepared Space against a composed soundscape of recorded sounds collected at the sight. Three performers conduct the score, which consists of musical fragments whose order of occurrences during the performance are left to chance. Due to the indeterminacy of the order of things, the undefined roles of each part and the naturally occurring accidental sounds from the inside and out, the musicians will have to listen, react in the moment, and fight to be heard. The work explores the question of how different sonic fields and voices relate to power and hegemony.

Dina Shilleh is a Serbian-Palestinian composer and pianist. She holds a Bachelor and a Masters Degree in piano performance from Lawrence University and University of Massachusetts - Amherst. Though Dina’s education was solely in piano performance her work as a musician combines composition, performance and pedagogy. She was awarded the “Young Artist Award” by the Palestine In and Out Competition (2015), has held residence at Cite Internationale des Arts in Paris, and has been commissioned as a composer locally and internationally. Her discography includes Letters to Palestine (2016) and Sudfa (2017). Her compositions have been performed in the Middle East, Europe and the USA, in prestigious venues such as Carnegie Hall in New York and Dublin City Hall. She is currently Head of the Piano Department at the Edward Said National Conservatory of Music in Palestine, where she teaches piano.

Performers:
Robin Burlton is a performer, composer, and conductor who currently teaches music theory and choir at the Barenboim-Said Foundation.

Hannah Gallagher is an Irish pianist whose work is in performance, collaborations, community music and she currently teaches at the Edward Said National Conservatory of Music.
