This urban diversity is what the 845Q concert tour takes as its starting point. 845Q is, in addition to the concert's title, the name of a brand new collaboration between Aarhus Sinfonietta and Palmehaven, which will build a bridge between modern contemporary music and the users of the urban space. And then 845Q is the postcode on the register.

The songs' well-known grains of sand can form new universes. The words coincided with five hearts in Politiken, when pianist and composer Jacob Anderskov first published a series of selected high school songs with new jazz avant-garde colours. He has now given the songs additional play of color with new arrangements for both improvisational and classical musicians, and the newly written work entitled I sang will premiere at the Aarhus Jazz Festival 2024.

Islandske Hugi Gudmundssons ”The Gospel of Mary” har allerede gjort sig bemærket som et nutidigt musikalsk og tekstligt banebrydende oratorium for sinfonietta, kor og sopransolist. I 2023 blev værket udgivet på Dacapo Records, og vandt – foruden flere rosende internationale anmeldelser – Icelandic Music Awards’ ”Composition of the Year”.

ELEGY is a meditative and subtly beautiful exploration of death, its beauty and its pain. In spherical sound, two sound universes meet somewhere outside of time – and outside the usual norms that put music in boxes.

Dén diskussion byder vi indenfor til solnedgangskoncert på Østerild Testcenter. Her mødes forsker Tomas Rosenberg Hansen (Siemens Gamesa), Morten Riis, lydkunstner og forsker, og musikere fra SVIN til en snak om støj. For hvor ligger grænsen mellem musik og støj? Og kan vi revurdere vores syn på støj? Ikke mindst, når verdens fremtid ligger i vores (og vindmøllernes) hænder.

På SPOT Festival 2023 videreudvikler Århus Sinfonietta konceptet “Experimentarium”, som blev kickstartet i samarbejde med Aarhus Jazz Orchestra og Det Jyske Musikkonservatorium under Curiosity Festival i 2022. Samarbejdet bygger på et fælles ønske fra de to ensemblers side om at give unge komponister, sangskrivere og musikere mulighed for at arbejde med de professionelle musikere fra de to orkestre, og dermed skabe både genre- og generationsmøder i musikken i en workshopbaseret, kunstnerisk proces.
