Ensemble mise-en performs the work of five living Danish composers representing each generation of new music artists working today, including Hans Abrahamsen, Thomas Agerfeldt Olesen, Per Nørgård, Simon Steen-Andersen, and Bent Sørensen, exploring connections that can forge unique emotional and psychological pathways through art.
Ensemble mise-en performs the work of five living Danish composers representing each generation of new music artists working today, including Hans Abrahamsen’s Seks stykker (1984); Thomas Agerfeldt Olesen’s Dedications (2000); Per Nørgård’s Scintillation (1993); Simon Steen-Andersen’s In spite of, and maybe even therefore (2007); and Bent Sørensen’s The Hill of the Heartless Giant (2001).
Exploring temporal distances rather than geographic ones, the concert is part of the ensemble’s CONNECTIONS series that details, explores, and ventures into the titular connections between artistic or cultural groups separated by location, tradition, or generation, and how those connections can forge unique emotional and psychological pathways through art.
