KLANG 2021 - Copenhagen Avantgarde Music Festival
27. maj - 7. jun.
København
Ever since the beginning, KLANG Festival has celebrated new music in the warmth of early summer. Much was different in 2020, and that went for our festival too, which we had to move to November because of covid-19. Despite restrictions we nevertheless managed to hold KLANG in safe conditions, and we will do everything we can to make sure the same is the case this year. But now again at the beginning of summer, just as it has always been.
This year we are working with Léonie Sonnings Musikpris on a series of concerts. This time the prize goes to the South Korean Unsuk Chin, one of the most performed composers of her generation, and we will therefore of course focus strongly on her music. At the same time we also take the opportunity to put the spotlight on other young Korean composers. All in all, this year's festival programme is full of new music by both Danish and international composers from many parts of the world.
There is extra good reason to keep an eye on KLANG's website this year. A lot can change from the time these words are written until the festival gets under way. Extra measures such as communal dining may be added, if it turns out to be possible. But we may also risk cancellations or changes to the programme, especially at the concerts where the soloists come from abroad. So keep a close watch. We are, however, keeping our fingers crossed that everything goes as planned, and we are working extremely hard to create a safe and secure festival full of life and new music.
Welcome to KLANG Festival 2021.
