Event Description
May 8 and 9, the SALT New Music Festival and Symposium welcomes Germany’s acclaimed Schola Heidelberg and Ensemble Aisthesis for four programs of new work by Canadian and international artists.
The KlangForum Heidelberg is where two very distinctive formations pool their interpretive élan and their astounding virtuosity: the voices of the Schola Heidelberg and the instrumentalists of the Ensemble Aesthesis. The two ensembles for contemporary and ancient music thrill their audiences all over Germany, at international festivals and as much-sought-after guests of major concert series. With its innovative concert formats, KlangForum Heidelberg has injected new life into the relationship between music and society. Conductor for the ensemble is Walter Nussbaum.
The festival comprises two workshops at Open Space (510 Fort Street, 2nd floor) and two evening concerts at Congregation Emanu-El Synagogue (1461 Blanshard Street).
