Vivien Walser & Ligyung: An Evening of Light and Music
Light in sound. Sound in light. In rare moments, they interpenetrate one another, and in those moments we realize what art is capable of: making us feel life in all its fullness.
For this collaboration, two artists from different fields come together: Munich-based pianist Vivien Walser and South Korean light installation artist Ligyung, who captivates audiences worldwide with her large-scale media installations. Together, they create an evening that blurs the boundaries between the senses.
Musically, the program centers on works by Robert Schumann and Alexander Scriabin. For both composers, light played a major role—not only as a metaphor, but also quite concretely in their artistic reflections and as a force inherent in the music itself. Alexander Scriabin assigned specific colors to notes and sought to create a total work of art that unites music, light, scent, architecture, and movement. In doing so, he developed the so-called “color piano,” designed to produce colored projections during the performance. For Robert Schumann, light did not play this concrete, physically visible role. Rather, it was a symbol of states of the soul. His music seeks out those fleeting moments of enlightenment in which love, hope, and poetry lift people, if only for an instant, above the mundane.
Ligyung’s light installations take up these musical impulses — not as illustrations, but as independent works in their own right. They breathe with the music, emerge in the same moment, and exist in the now. Light becomes audible. Music becomes visible.
