Prisma Darmstadt V

14 MAY will be seeing the fifth part of the Ensemble Modern series "Prisma Darmstadt" – this time exploring the theme „Current. Music and Technology“ and the manifold possibilities of combining live instruments and electronic music. Two premieres by Martin Matalon and Oscar Bianchi, both made possible by the Kulturfonds Frankfurt RheinMain, will be the central pieces of the evening. As a reference, we will be listening to one of the earliest pieces including electronic music, Luciano Berio’s "Différences" and a composer mostly known for his works with electronics: Jonathan Harvey. The ensemble will be performing two of his works as a homage to the recently deceased British composer. Stefan Asbury will be conducting.
