In short, Ensemble Nikel offer their audience a prism through which they can experience the crucial question that every ensemble must ask itself sooner or later: “What about now?” To explore this question, the program brings together three new works from the recently developed repertoire, painting a vivid panorama of the soundscapes and artistic figures that Nikel is currently engaged with. At the center is the encounter between acoustic and electronic sound sources, the friction between analogue and digital means, and their implementation in the composers' different aesthetic styles. This is presented in works by Lisa Illean (premiered at the Paris d'Automne festival), Christopher Trapani (premiered at the NYC Time:Spans festival), and a world premiere by Tobias Krebs.
Tickets are CHF 15-35; CHF 10 for members of Colourkey or children under age 12.
