Neue Vocalsolisten
VOICE AFFAIRS initiates artistic border crossings in which European art music is expanded and transformed by the diversity of Lebanon’s experimental music scenes. The project connects the Neue Vocalsolisten with musicians from Lebanon, Egypt and Palestine who are located in these scenes. From the perspective of contemporary composition, electronic music, sound art, improvisation and avant-pop, they all deal in different ways with the voice, which plays a special role in the music of the Mediterranean region.
The project was developed and co-produced by (in alphabetical order) Akademie der Künste Berlin, Irtijal Festival Beirut, Musik der Jahrhunderte Stuttgart, Onassis Cultural Center/Stegi Athens, Ultima Oslo Contemporary Music Festival.
