The programme will include works for strings and video along with a new version of the multimedia piece Run Time Error. The piece draws its material from sound and video recordings made backstage at the Miller Theatre. During the concert Simon Steen-Andersen will perform a live remix of these recordings into an audiovisual sequence. Watch a trailer for the concert here.

In addition to the concert at the Miller Theatre September also sees the performances of Simon Steen-Andersen’s music in Europe. On September 10 the Nadar Ensemble will perform Amid at the Gaudeamus Muziekweek in Holland and on September 12, during the Ultima Festival, Ensemble Musikfabrik will perform Steen-Andersen’s latest work “Korpus” for 7-8 musicians and three Harry Partch-instruments.
