Breathing and breath are the central elements of the concert for choir and string quartet: Holliger, inspired by Rosa Loui, written by the poet and theologian Kurt Marti in the dialect of Bern; Misato Mochizuki speaks through the acoustics of Japanese instruments; Billone pays tribute to Federico De Leonardis, artist of abandoned sites, of vestiges.
