Murder Ballads and Sentimentalities Ensemble Ascolta
Event Introduction
The German Ensemble Ascolta, known for his unique selection of instruments and exceptional projects, will delight you with surprising intertwinings of playfulness, sensitivity, and gloom.
Gordon Kampe’s work Murder Ballads and Sentimentalities draws from the murder ballad tradition that emerged in the late 17th century. Hannu Pohjannoro’s percussion piece is a stydy of the details of articulation, while the entire piece is played with bare hands. In Hugo Morales Murguía’s work, musical instruments are used in an atypical way and atypical objects are used as musical instruments.The concert will also feature Malin Bågn’s new work composed for Ensemble Ascolta as well as Márton Illés’s work ascolta-rajzok (Ascolta drawings), which takes the concept of chamber music a step further with several musicians playing a common instrument.
