As part of EUROMicroFest 2024, we will once again host a concert in Freiburg, Germany (8th March, 2024, 8pm) under the title ‘Das Stimmt!!’ – this time ‘with strings attached!’ It will be held at the Elisabeth Schneider Stiftung, Weinschlösschen Freiburg, and focusses on microtonal trumpet and flugelhorn (Stephen Altoft) with strings, using local musicians, and juxtaposes composed works with improvisation in 19-divisions, 24-divisions, Spectral and Just Intonation tunings.

This is our ‘new start’ following the pandemic and the sad loss of our artistic director, Donald Bousted.

To mark the coincidence with the International Women’s Day, Stephen will give the world premiers of music by Emily Koh, and Eleri Ralli and the german premier of a piece by Eleri Angharad Pound. Dialogue for 19-division trumpet and computer by Cambridge (UK) composer, Paul Rhys receives it’s german premier too. Katharina Schmauder will play viola music by Horatiu Radulescu. The improvisations will be performed by FLOWduo (Stephen Altoft, 19-division trumpet and flugelhorn, Johannes Nied, double bass) and Harald Kimmig (violin) with Lee Ferguson (malletKAT).
