This year’s Month of Contemporary Music will open on August 31 at the Kühlhaus with the Festival Intersecting Encounters, which is dedicated to the intersections of composition, collective creation and improvisation.
The Dell-Lillinger-Westergaard Trio, vocal artist Sofia Jernberg, the Sonar Quartet, pianist Tamara Stefanovich, the Trio Catch and members of the Zafraan Ensemble come together for this event. They will meet in a variety of configurations and explore the boundaries between composition and improvisation, between closed and open form, between instrumental and vocal music.
You can hear new co-compositions and existing works by the likes of Alban Berg, Christophe Bertrand, Unsuk Chin, Christopher Dell, Mirela Ivičević, Sofia Jernberg, Christian Lillinger, Samir Odeh-Tamimi, Arnold Schönberg, Sonar Quartet, Tamara Stefanovich, Anton Webern, Jonas Westergaard and others. The participants will give an insight into their collaboration in two short discussion rounds. In between and after the concerts, there will be time for dialogue, snacks and drinks in the foyer and backyard of Kühlhaus.
