ensembleORCHESTRA at Nordic Music Days
Time: 19.00
Place: Nordic Music Days, Reykjavík / Harpa | Silfurberg
Artistic Director of SCENATET, Anna Berit Asp Christensen, has taken the initiative to establish an ensembleORCHESTRA consisting of some of Scandinavia’s best new music ensembles:
Ensemble Adapter (IS/DE)
Curious Chamber Players (SE)
Nordic Affect (IS)
& SCENATET (DK)
With ensembleORCHESTRA, skills, knowledge, creativity and – above all – resources are combined with the aim of initiating and carrying out composers’ works and concert productions at a level not previously seen in Scandinavia. The ensembleORCHESTRA offers composers of our time a big, highly qualified and dedicated “ensemble instrument” to realize their ideas.
