Durations in Space is a recital for cello and piano that explores the relationship between sound, space, and the perception of time. 

Through works by Olivier Messiaen, György Kurtág, Arvo Pärt, and Morton Feldman, cellist Nina Vanhoenacker and pianist Ann-Kristín Sofroniou invite audiences into a listening experience where sound unfolds across the room and time seems to expand, contract, and dissolve. 



Using subtle movement and spatial reconfiguration, the performance invites audiences to listen carefully to how time and space distorts each other. 

As sound travels through the space and reaches listeners from changing perspectives, familiar notions of musical continuity and duration are gently transformed.
