Nadar @ Darmstadt: Long live the new flesh

July 18th – 19h30
46. Internationale Ferienkurse für Neue Musik Darmstadt 2012
Internationales Musikinstitut Darmstadt (IMD)
Centralstation, Im Carree, 64283 Darmstadt

After Nadar’s very enthousiastically received concert at the 2010-edition of the Darmstadt Ferienkurse, the ensemble developed a new concert program for the 2012-edition in close collaboration with the Darmstadt Ferienkurse.This concert-program is based on the concept of the Free samples (click here) – program which is performed in March 2012 at the Handelsbeurs, Ghent. The Darmstadt Ferienkurse commissioned Alexander Schubert, Jorge Sanchez-Chiong and Johannes Kreidler to write new compositions for Nadar within this program and the concept of “sampling”. The video’s Long Live the New Flesh by Nicolas Provost, Haunted House by Martin Arnold and Nortbert Pfaffenbichler’s Intermezzo will be shown alongside these three new compositions and Stefan Prins’ Piano Hero#1.
