The KlangForum Heidelberg is where two very distinctive formations pool their interpretive élan and their astounding virtuosity: the voices of the Schola Heidelberg and the instrumentalists of the Ensemble Aesthesis. The two ensembles for contemporary and ancient music thrill their audiences all over Germany, at international festivals and as much-sought-after guests of major concert series. With its innovative concert formats, KlangForum Heidelberg has injected new life into the relationship between music and society. Conductor for the ensemble is Walter Nussbaum.

On May 10 and 11, 2018 the Klangforum Heidelberg will present a workshop and concert at the Vancouver Community College and the Red Gate Revue Stage (Granville Island) in coordination with Vancouver New Music. This will feature new works by Giorgio Magnanensi, Örjan Sandred, Claude Vivier and others.

These events are happening in collaboration with the SALT New Music Festival and Symposium, Open Space, the University of Manitoba and Vancouver New Music and made possible through support from the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation, the Canada Council for the Arts, the BC Arts Council and the Goethe Institute.

From May 4-11 the Schola Heidelberg and Ensemble Aesthesis will be visiting Canada to present works by Canadian composers. This is part of the 2018 SALT New Music Festival and Symposium, which will be held in Winnipeg, Victoria and Vancouver. Visit http://tsilumos.org/salt2018/ for details.

Presented by Salt Festival and Symposium for New Music, Canada Council for the Arts, British Columbia Arts Council, Baden-Würtemberg, Desautels Faculty of Music, University of Victoria, Goethe Institut, John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation, Temple Emanu-el, Groundswell and Open Space.
