Ear Transplant launches with a concert at H15, Copenhagen. A programme of works that engage with intense physical presence, focus and connection between the on-stage performers.We are a brand new organisation for contemporary music and interdisciplinary art with five key goals:
1. To invoke a sense of wonder for our audiences
2. To bring music to Denmark that our audiences have never experienced before
3. To contribute to and build a community spirit within the contemporary music field
4. To support up-and-coming artists and commission the most exciting local composers
5. To pursue each aspect of the concert/event experience with a painstaking level of care
Ear Transplant is somewhere between a concert production platform and an ensemble, with 4 core performing members as well as a rotating pool of musicians and collaborators, all of whom specialise in contemporary music performance and experimental art-making. Our flexible roster of performers allows us to programme a huge array of music, whether it embraces a multi-medial approach, novel combinations of instruments, or well known chamber forms, re-imagined and shaped by current attitudes and perspectives.

About the pieces:
- Anna Sowa and Cathy van Eck explore the musical potential of choreographed movement
- 2 accordions breathe together in a deep listening exercise by Adriana Minu
- Matthew Grouse invites the audience to intervene, imagine layers of music, engage in staring contests, and heckle the on-stage performers
- Joss Smith threads together a plaintive prayer with a lingering sense of darkness
- Laurence Crane strives for a fresh sense of beauty in familiar, even ordinary musical phenomena
The bar will be open until midnight. Stick around after the concert and celebrate our launch with us!
