KONTRAKLANG presents current positions from Canada's contemporary music scene in a two day mini festival. Similar to Berlin, the scene in Montréal is also characterised by a high international fluctuation and a great diversity of styles that knows no fear of contact. The second evening will focus on composed ensemble music of recent years and will feature Gordon Monahan's Speaker Swinging, a classic of sound performance that was last performed in Berlin in 2014. Ensemble Paramirabo will make its Berlin debut with works by James O'Callaghan, Nicole Lizée and premiere by Keiko Devaux.
Program:
James O’Callaghan: Alone and unalone (2019)
Nicole Lizée: Music for Body-Without-Organs (2011)
Keiko Devaux: Voix jetées (2022, UA) for soprano and ensemble
