(English below)New Music for Strings har 10 års-jubilæum!
I ti år har New Music for Strings skabt et mødested for strygere og komponister fra Norden og Nordamerika. Vi fortsætter fejringen af jubilæet med tre koncerter i Oslo og Aarhus under mottoet “Expanding Tradition, Imagining the Future”: nye værker fra begge sider af Atlanten side om side med værker af det 20. århundredes mest fremtrædende danske komponister, akustisk strygermusik møder live-elektronik, og en af kammermusikkens største violinister træder frem som komponist.
