with International Contemporary Ensemble

North and South America are geographical focus points in the programme of this first edition of SONIC MATTER. For the opening concert, the International Contemporary Ensemble is bringing with it contemporary music from the USA. This Ensemble has developed its multifarious artistic identity in an intensive process of collaboration with numerous mentors from the US experimental music scene, including George E. Lewis and Nicole Mitchell. Together with a new generation of composers, the Ensemble is presenting a programme with current works and world premières that reflect the creative energy of its home city of New York.

Tickets available at www.schauspielhaus.ch from November 5, 2021.
