TRIO ABSTRAKT

PROJECTS

spotlight
Trio Abstrakt: spotlight is a concert series for full-length compositions of contemporary music. In close collaboration with a composer, an approximately one-hour work is created in the form of an immersive chamber music experience - works that oscillate between chamber music, electronics and music theater are premiered here.
What happens to a chamber music work after a successful premiere? How often and when can a contemporary composition be performed again - and can compositions continue to develop (many years) after their creation?

With chambers, Trio Abstrakt presents a new series for complex, sound-based chamber music. chambers is both a concert and an exchange format - the composers invited to the concert evening will be introduced with their works in concert and, together with a moderator and the musicians of the trio, will give a thematically focussed concert introduction in the form of a panel discussion.
blurringEdges is an upcoming new program and concert format developed by Trio Abstrakt. Whereas in spotlight a single composer worked with the trio towards the creation of an hour-long new immersive work, blurringEdges features a group of up to three composers working and composing together to create a seamless concert experience.
Due to pandemic-related concert cancellations, Trio Abstrakt has developed a desire to present contemporary music in a format that is not, like online streaming, merely a substitute for a ‘real’ concert. Instead, it should be fully complete when viewed and listened to on one’s own computer. Building implicitly on MTV music videos of the 1990s, we seek to launch a project in which contemporary music and short films interact: the New Music Video.
