Although not as 'fat' as was originally intended, Ensemble Proton Bern celebrates its postponed 10th birthday à la «better late than never». The thought of a birthday work by Tobias Krebs made for Ensemble Proton Bern left us in joyful anticipation last year! Finally, we are now playing his work REFRACTIONS, in which the acoustic and electronic sounds of the instruments are skillfully combined. New in the program is the work «brotkunst» by Annette Schmucki, the master of word- and language-based composition. Who says that new music can't be humorous or spread jollity?
