Carte blanche: Frédéric Acquaviva II (HANDS)

As part of two concert evenings, French composer Frédéric Acquaviva will be appearing at the ZKM_Kubus on 5th and 6th May. For his Cartes blanches, Acquaviva has been able to obtain both Loré Lixenberg, a world-famous mezzo-soprano in the opera and musical theater scene, and renowned pianist Mark Knoop, who will interpret a selection of Acquaviva’s musical works, composed for grand piano, vocals, live electronics and telematics alongside the composer / performer.

As part of the second concert evening, concertgoers will be able to look over the shoulder of renowned pianist Mark Knoop. For »Self-Portrait Music«, which was composed in 2015, Frédéric Acquaviva will supplement the accomplished keyboard playing of the London-based concert pianist with electronics. As part of »{…}«, created in 2010, Acquaviva and Knoop will then accompany an internet live stream lasting about sixty minutes.
