Calling all cello fans!

This Sunday at LiteraturHaus in Copenhagen, Swedish cellist Alexandra Hallén will perform a wonderful selection of contemporary cello pieces, including – hence the “wonderful” part – a handful written by Edition·S composers.

The concert – titled “Destruct[urat]ion” – takes its name from Rune Glerup’s 2009 piece Destruct[urat]ion #4, which will of course be performed by Hallén, who also plays Jexper Holmen’s short Vespa Crabro (2004) with its wasp-imitating amplified sound.

The LiteraturHaus concert will also feature solo cello pieces by Lars Kynde, Christian Winther Christensen and Lasse Schwanenflügel Piasecki.
