HELLO DARKNESS – A Night Journey Through Contemporary Dreamworlds

Hello Darkness (2025) – for tape (prod. Hovestadt/Watts/Schneidewendt, inspired by Simon & Garfunkel)
Anna Thorvaldsdottir – Ró (2013, Estonian premiere) for ensemble
Patrick Schäfer – Dunkle Mitte (2025, Estonian premiere) with poems by Nadja Küchenmeister, for ensemble and electronics
Sarah Hennies – Memory Box (2021, Estonian premiere) for performers

The program takes the audience on a journey exploring the different faces of darkness—is it a comforting, protective force or a threatening gloom? Six composers express their personal relationship with darkness from various perspectives.

Broken Frames Syndicate is an ensemble of eleven musicians based primarily in Frankfurt, dedicated to contemporary music and the renewal of concert culture. Founded in 2018 by graduates of the International Ensemble Modern Academy, the collective is known for its bold programming, interdisciplinary collaborations, and work with young composers.
