Live the music on two continents!
The musicians of the Quasar saxophone quartet engage in an intercontinental dialogue with those of the Mixtura Ensemble from Germany and three other European musicians. Simultaneously, spectators and performers on both sides of the Atlantic will participate in a unique facet of the same musical experience imagined by the composers. The different sound spaces will meet, forming new and one-of-a-kind musical combinations, at the same time.
This concert is part of the Sounding Philosophy research project initiated by Dániel Péter Biró.
