Guitarist

Shifting Ground weaves together pieces for solo violin and violin/electronics by J.S. Bach and composers of other eras to form a program with dramatic arc, flow, and scope. Violinist Alexi Kenney's creative forces are combined with new media artist Xuan in an immersive multidisciplinary program that joins solo violin works from the 18th to 21st centuries with boundary-pushing projection art. Music by J.S. Bach and Nicola Matteis flows seamlessly into works by new voices such as Rafiq Bhatia and Angélica Negrón, as Xuan conjures immersive, imaginative landscapes in response.

An open archive as philosophy and practice. Where material and resources are open to all, boundaries become new horizons – and scores become white canvases: Asya Fateyeva and Ensemble Resonanz explore creative ways of transformation with works by Franz Schubert, Johann Sebastian Bach, Luciano Berio and others.
