Kunsthall Trondheim ønsker velkommen til en unik konsertopplevelse med Trondheim Sinfonietta, torsdag 5. oktober!
Med konsertserien Absurd ønsker Trondheim Sinfonietta å utforske rekkevidden av hva en klassisk musiker kan eller ikke kan gjøre på scenen. Hva om man fjerner instrumentene? Hva om man tenker på musikkopptreden som koreografi? Inspirert av Fluxus, Mauricio Kagel og andre, har Absurd nye verk for musikere som innlemmer kroppens og stemmen til instrumentalistene. Komponist Jennifer Walshe har en gang kalt denne «sjangeren» av moderne musikk «The New Discipline», mens andre har kastet seg rundt etiketten «The Undisciplined». Uansett hva du kaller det, er denne typen ytelse en fri for alle. Alt kan skje, og Trondheim Sinfonietta liker det på den måten.
