LÊ QUAN NINH (FR)
ANCESTRAL MODERNISM SINGULARITY
Billetter: 100 DKK / Stud: 50 DKK
Tidsløshed og helende solo performance med fransk verdensklasse-percussionist. Fordyb dig i en verden af lyd når den verdenskendte percussionist Lê Quan Ninh giver en primordial performance med fri improvisation. Primal lyd er menneskets metafysiske og biologiske hjem og fri improvisation opført af en percussionist, som har forbundet sig til det ekstreme, kan blive en intens, helende oplevelse.
Lê Quan Ninh (født 1961, Paris), er en klassisk uddannet samtids-percussionist som har studeret med Sylvio Gualda ved konservatoriet i Versailles. Udover sin formelle uddannelse og performances med adskillige samtidige ensembler og danse- og teaterkompanier, har han udviklet en stor interesse for fri improvisation.
Denne koncert er en del af koncertrækken Ancestral Modernism Trilogy.
Copenhagen World Music Festival @ KoncertKirken is supported by Statens Kunstfond, Koncertkirken, Københavns Musikudvalg, Korea Art Management, Dansk Musik Forbund, DJBFA – Composer and Songwriters Production Pool and Kodas Cultural Funds.

As a classical trained percussionist, Lê Quan Ninh worked with contemporary music ensembles and was a founder member of Quatuor Hêlios (1986-2012), a percussion quartet that performed and recorded, among others, John Cage’s percussion works. Their last creation was Seul à Seuls by Georges Aperghis premiered in late 2006 at the Musica Festival in Strasbourg (France).

With the cellist Martine Altenburger, he founded in 2006 the ensemble]h[iatus, a contemporary music ensemble whose its members are at the same time interpreters and improvisers. They commissioned pieces to the composers Vinko Globokar, Peter Jakober, Steffen Krebber, Jennifer Walshe and Anthony Pateras
