Concertini
The inventor of instrumental musique concrète, Helmut Lachenmann, likes to thwart all our preconceptions. His Concertini announces a series of "concertante" situations, but the composer "disguises, covers, discovers, counterpoints, or distorts everything that overwhelms us and everything that sneaks up on us when we start working on this type of ad hoc assembled sound categories, like a dowser walking through his own overgrown garden, looking for..." (Lachenmann).
The sophistication of sound that demands listening can be found in the distinctive and poetic world of Lisa Streich, influenced by her mentor Lachenmann. On the other hand, it is the eclectic style of her compatriot Anders Hillborg, whom the Ensemble Intercontemporain will perform for the first time, with a commissioned work in which the musical performance is enhanced by an unexpectedly spectacular dimension.
