Morton Feldman’s Musical Alphabet
With "Rothko Chapel" and "Coptic Light", the ManiFeste festival pays tribute to a profoundly, and genuinely, singular artistic figure: the American composer Morton Feldman, who would have turned 100 in 2026. The form of the abecedary may be the most fitting way to approach the many facets of a body of work that is as coherent as it is uncompromising, an unceasing endeavor to liberate sound and to expand time.
