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.
The concert is supported by Goethe Institute.
