DARK LIGHT

ENSEMBLE GARAGE

Works of Bára Gísladóttir and Laure M. Hiendl   
Friday, 25. November 2022, 20.00 pm
Stadtgarten, Köln

Program:  
Bára Gísladóttir - Rage against reply guy (2021) 
Bára Gísladóttir - HAF:köf(n)un (2015)
Laure M Hiendl - String Quartett No.2

 In the second live concert of the FMN (FRAU MUSICA NOVA) Festival, the Cologne-based Ensemble Garage presents with "DARK LIGHT" works by the composers and performers Bára Gísladóttir and Laure M. Hiendl. The program moves fluidly between different compositional languages and lets classical chamber music meet electronic and performative worlds. The light and performance concept originating from Laure M. Hiendl herself, creates connecting lines between an alienated, drifting electro-performative string quartet and the almost meditative, transcendental listening spaces of Bára Gísladóttir.
Ensemble Garage reflects the (post)-internet society with its digital-media manifestations. An essential element is the development of contemporary music towards trans medial, theatrical and performative forms of production.

 

ECCENTRIC LISTENING

The digital audio format "Eccentric Listening" has been an integral part of FRAU MUSICA NOVA since 2020. It offers international artists with different musical backgrounds a platform to put together a 30-minute moderated audio show with eccentric, audacious and daring music.

In 2022 we invited AMET, Nicole L’Huillier and Julia Robert to put together their digital audio show.
