TRIO ABSTRAKT

ABOUT CONFLUENCES#2

Trio Abstrakt: Confluences#2 is an immersive chamber music experience. Three world premieres by three composers/sound artists with diverse musical backgrounds are connected by collaboratively composed interludes, creating a cohesive work.

The program features new works by Parisian composers Michelle Agnes Magalhães, Imsu Choi and Julien Malaussena, who explore the possibilities of collective composition during the creative process. They work to blur the boundaries between the individual pieces, and consequently investigate how this also blurs the lines between the individual and the collective—both in the working process and in the reception of the overall work.

Confluences#2 premiered on September 26th 2025 at Kunststation St. Peter Köln and was subsequently presented at art.ist Wiesbaden and Pavillon de La Sirène in Paris.
