Århus Sinfonietta is a Danish beacon for experimental contemporary music. The ensemble strives to create unique hybrid concerts for a wide and diverse audience, exploring ways to reduce the distance between the audience and the often boundary-seeking and challenging music that constitutes the core repertoire of the sinfonietta.
Step into a redesigned concert hall where you can move freely in the darkness behind and around the illuminated musicians from Århus Sinfonietta, and explore the very special interaction of the individual instruments – yes, even conversations – in two contrasting, expressive contemporary works featured in the concert.
For this concert, the ensemble invites German singer/songwriter and actress Jenny Thiele on stage. In Thomas Agerfeldt Olesen's emotionally dramatic work ‘Trennungsbriefe’, which the ensemble premiered in 2022, divorce is communicated through written word, via the speech of wordless instruments, and through Danish telemarketing. This conflict-filled space is balanced with Lil Lacy's hopeful ‘The Conch and The Chrysanthemum’ from the dream work ‘You're Somehow Connected’, which was performed at Aarhus Festuge's gala opening in 2021.
