Simon Steen-Andersen opens TIME:SPANS Festival

On 9 August, the renowned TIME:SPANS festival in New York opens with a spotlight on Danish composer Simon Steen-Andersen.

The programme features three of his works, performed by the acclaimed Ensemble Dal Niente and percussion group Beyond This Point. The evening includes the celebrated Black Box Music, an ensemble version of Asthma, and Run Time Error – a joystick-controlled video work performed live by the composer himself.

Black Box Music, which earned Steen-Andersen the prestigious Nordic Council Music Prize in 2014, has since been performed extensively on international stages.

TIME:SPANS is devoted to presenting cutting-edge music of the 21st century. The concert takes place at The DiMenna Center for Classical Music.
