Music Current 2021 - Music Current Soloists Currents

A central theme of the Music Current Festival is the participation and collaboration of composers and performers in developing new work. Usually this takes place within the context of the festival, but this year these collaborations took place in a new format with composers working closely with individual instrumentalists over an extended period.

In this concert the seven composers and five soloists involved in this project reveal the results of their extended in-depth collaborations, and present seven new works exploring new instrumental resources mediated by electronic forces. Each work, although developed separately in one-to-one relationships, was also developed in a parallel process, with all composers meeting regularly to discuss and exchange ideas.
