LENdscapes in Vilnius and Bremen

29 Nov 2021 Gaida Festival Vilnius
23 June 2022 Bremen

co-curator: Thomas Hummel

A gigantic landscape of loudspeakers and musicians is spread over the entire concert hall in this unusual concert. The audience is situated in the middle of it and perceives 34 loudspeaker sculptures that, like musicians, have their own music stands and note parts. Sit down on a musician's seat and listen to the Lithuanian Ensemble Network - 17 musicians scattered around the hall together with three singers, and often wandering. At the end of the concert, the audience can actively participate. This project is an international cooperation of the lithuanian ensemble network and the german Bremen Loudspeaker Orchestra.
