POLAR BEARS, GLACIERS AND CLIMATE CHANGE

MANU DELAGO FEAT. MAD ABOUT LEMON

Manu Delago is a world-famous percussionist, handpan player and composer. At the interface between ambient electronic and neoclassical music, his acoustic percussion instruments merge with electronic rhythms and sounds from our surroundings. The Tyrolean musician works regularly with various artists, including Björk, Anoushka Shankar or Ólafur Arnalds; as a soloist, he has appeared with the London Symphony Orchestra and the Metropole Orkest. Now the two-time Grammy winner and his handpan join the vocal ensemble Mad About Lemon for a grand European concert tour. Mad About Lemon is a trio of young Tyrolean singers experimenting with three-voiced choral settings and improvisations to deliver their multi-layered musical messages. Mountainous glaciers and rivers, down to the tiniest drop of water, feature in these songs – as do journeys and life stations connecting us with places and people, effecting lasting change. The unusual combination of artists is joined in this program by the bass player Clemens Rofner. A musical encounter of the most exquisite kind, also involving live visuals – color images that are created live on stage during the concert.
