Curiosity Festival: Experimentarium II

Curiosity Festival is a full day for the curious ear, from noon to evening. The genre distinction have been removed and the concept of concert is being expanded. Professional musicians and ensembles meet talented young conservatory students, and both students and established composers provide the music. At the evening concert, Århus Sinfonietta and Aarhus Jazz Orchestra play a brand new work together, written by Gorm Askjær in the tension between improvised music, big band jazz, New Music and everything in between.
