KlangForum Heidelberg Tournee

The success of our festival "DICTATORSHIP" in October 2017 in Heidelberg aroused further interest in the composition "Ethica" by Dániel Péter Biró, which was premiered here. He is professor of composition in Canada and has already been awarded with the Guggenheim Fellowship 2017-2018 for the conception of this work. After the premiere, we received invitations from the American Society for a portrait concert to Dániel Péter Biró in New York City: On May 4, "Ethica" will be performed in the series "Music of the Americas Concert".

Our tour will also take place in Canada in the cities of Winnipeg, Victoria and Vancouver. In addition to works by Dániel Péter Biró, the program also includes works by other Canadian composers such as Giorgio Magnanensi, Claude Vivier, Örjan Sandred and the French election canadian Philippe Leroux. All concerts will be contextualized with roundtables, panel discussions and workshops for young Canadian composers by Walter Nußbaum and the musicians of KlangForum Heidelberg.
