Tracing the “nature of being“, immersing oneself in rituals of indigenous peoples, artistically crossing borders again and again. The composer Maria de Alvear is a highly unusual phenomenon in the contemporary music scene. Her works are poetic explosions, some of which are themselves reminiscent of magical and cultic acts. The publication Ein Konzert ist eine Feuerstelle (A Concert is a Fireplace) – on the occasion of her 60th birthday in 2020 – takes an in-depth look at her rich life and work: from personal reflections by her sister Ana de Alvear to music-analytical forays and a pointed focus on the existential and intellectual-spiritual reference points and backgrounds of her work.
Maria de Alvear grew up in Madrid. She continued her education in Germany. She received vital stimulation in the composition class of Mauricio Kagel in Cologne. But Maria de Alvear went her own way and set out on a musical journey around the world, which took her – in real and virtual terms – to remote places and to the innermost regions of thought. Her cultural roots, especially flamenco, and early influences by contemporary music inspired her development as a musician and composer. As a singer, she has been and continues to be a co-interpreter of her own works. Her creative imagination is ignited by phenomena of human existence, by natural processes, by micro- and macrocosm, yes, by life itself, to which she devotes herself with “true energy“.
