A double headline evening at ALICE where two ensembles explore the classical chamber format in very different ways. Trio Terrea, made up of violin, cello and a microtonal keyboard, takes listeners on a sound journey through Persian musical traditions and European art music, with a custom-built 31-tone Claviton keyboard opening up new harmonic possibilities.
The prize-winning string quartet AKELA performs the music of film composer Sune Kølster, whose work ranges from Arabic-inspired scores to the soundtrack for the American thriller "Speak no Evil" (2024), and whose roots include the Copenhagen punk underground of the late 1990s. In AKELA's hands, his works become something beautiful, compelling and unsettling at once.
