The Quasars Ensemble is a young Slovak ensemble of truly virtuosi musicians devoted to the contemporary repertoire. At the Musica Viva Festival they will be sharing a concert with the acclaimed Loudspeaker Orchestra in a proposition that aims at offering different perspectives over today’s European music creation.
SMALL AUDITORIUM - EDUARDO PRADO COELHO ROOM
On one hand, the programme includes essential composers from the international contemporary repertoire such as Luigi Nono, Salvatore Sciarrino, Michael Jarrell or Tristan Murail; on the other hand, there are pieces from Portuguese and Slovak composers, sharing and opposing aesthetics that challenge music creation
itself.
