On 6 November 2021 Ensemble Musikfabrik (Cologne) performed the world première of Richard Rijnvos' Riflesso sull’incontro.
The 'Riflessi' series consists exclusively of companion pieces. In other words: each 'Riflesso' explores the same exceptional scoring of a classic from the last century. Riflesso sull’incontro is a companion piece to Octandre, Edgard Varèse’s legendary composition from 1923.
The première performance by Ensemble Musikfabrik, conducted by Enno Poppe, was part of November Music, an annual international festival for contemporary music in the Netherlands on various locations in the city of Den Bosch.
