ABOUT WERKplaats
In the late 1970s, the Asko Ensemble an Amsterdam-based forerunner of today's contemporary chamber ensemble model established a composer-performer collective which met weekly and provided the opportunity for extensive collaboration between composers and performers. This collective, called "Werkplaats", rose to the musical demands of young artists and allowed for their substantial artistic development ultimately resulting in one of the world's richest communities of contemporary music.
Dal Niente takes a proverbial page from the ASKO Ensemble with WERKplaats, a performance of new works based upon extensive workshop collaboration. Co-produced by High Concept Laboratories, this project attempts to meet the demands of modern artists through fostering partnerships from which new artistic works are born. The audience will have an opportunity to connect with these new works in a relaxed, intimate environment lacking the protocol of traditional concerts.
Brooklyn-based composer Robert Honstein will work closely with Dal Niente musicians to create a new work of musical theater based on a series of emails unintentionally addressed to the him, devising a unique sound world for this unusual libretto. The ensemble will perform a new work of Santiago Diez-Fisher, created during an intensive workshop produced by the 2012 Darmstadt Summer Courses for New Music, as well as solo pieces tailor-made for the players' unique talents and a new work commissioned specifically for this event by Chicago composer Morgan Krauss.
