It is the last day before the grand Avantgarde Music Festival KLANG kicks off! We’re very excited by the newly restructured festival and look forward to experiencing many interesting performances by great ensembles and talented composers. Among those are of course Edition·S – music¬sound¬art composers.
Therefore this Flashback Friday will be short and sweet and we have chosen to dedicate it to KLANG – so it becomes a kind of ”Flash Forward Friday” instead. Here we give you a list of recommendations for the next week or so:
Saturday we’re can of course recommend going to the opening concert with Athelas Sinfonietta conducted by the French Pierre-André Valade with works by the young Simon Løffler (who we know from DYGONG) and Mette Nielsen.
Afterwards we’ll be going to the opening reception before heading over to see Lars Kynde’s Wandelende Tak part 1: Elephant Heart.
Sunday afternoon we’re thrilled to be joining a concert that is performed by a bunch of local music amateurs on 100 music boxes and 15 accordions! It’s of course Jexper Holmen and Frode Andersen’s new work Alnitak we’re talking about. We can’t wait to experience this unique work!
In the evening we’re going to enjoy Lars Kynde’s Wandelende Tak part 2.
Monday evening the prestigious ensemble recherche is performing a concert with no less than two Edition·S composers on the programme! Nicolai Worsaae’s new work Epilogus and Simon Steen-Andersen’s Study for String Instrument #1. Also on the programme is the always-inventive Jeppe Just Christensen.
Tuesday evening we can recommend ensemble recherche’s second concert with works by students of the Royal Academy of Music, the Curious Chamber Orchestra’s concert and of course the third part of Lars Kynde’s Wandelende Tak.
Thursday evening Wayne Siegel is on the programme and again Jeppe Just Christensen, who is going to perform at a local pub…
Saturday it is possible to experience Lars Kynde’s last part of the Wandelende Tak work. But before that, Athelas Sinfonietta performs the great Pelle Gudmundsen-Holmgreen in a concert that is dedicated to Søren Kierkegaard’s 200th anniversary.
See you out there! And check back for next week’s Flashback Friday where we’ll look back on all the performances.
