Ensemble Musikfabrik are next-of-kin for Rebecca Saunders’s music, having played it all over the world in a variety of shapeshifting set-ups. In a second concert showcasing her recent works, Ensemble Musikfabrik divide themselves. Having tackled Yes as a group, the ensemble now deliver microcosmic performances of Aether, confined to a bass clarinet duo for Carl Rosman and Richard Haynes, and dust for percussion. The expansive vision of Saunders’ music is here rendered sparse.

Even now, after Wolfgang Amadeus, Franz, Johann, Gustav etc. etc. etc., Austria is without a doubt a musical nation. We will heed the call of the festival Bludenzer Tage zeitgemäßer Musik (Bludenz Contemporary Music Days) and present a programme in beautiful surrounds of Vorarlberg of the latest music by Catherine Lamb and Alexander Moosbrugger, as well as a fresh new piece written expressly for ensemble proton bern by Alessandro Perini, as winner of our Masterclass/Competition for the Bludenzer Tage zeitgemäßer Musik.
