Last year's "altar singer" Gustav Johansson and the Norwegian sinfonietta Insimul challenge your senses in the Brænderitårnet at Aalborg's old distillery. Conductor Bjarte Engeset leads us through the evening's main piece, Eight Songs for a Mad King, which is the story of King George III, who at the beginning of his reign promised to be a good king, but became ill with porphyria, dementia and schizophrenia. Isolated from everyone, locked in a bird tower by his own son and now both deaf and blind, the great king went from genius to madness. A work that, in its execution, requires a completely unique singing technique.

Also on the program is the Danish premiere of GBG Hardcore – an explosive piece where the voice is used by all the musicians on stage. Dane Per Nørgård is represented with a percussion piece where bowls form the music's "song", and even a first performance is on the program in the form of Connor McLean's work from 2022, which is dedicated to Gustav Johansson.

A completely unique avant-garde concert dressed in lighting design and an acoustic sound of another world.

English

Sidste års ”altansanger” Gustav Johansson og det norske sinfonietta Insimul udfordrer dine sanser i Brænderitårnet på Aalborgs gamle spritfabrik. Dirigent Bjarte Engeset leder os igennem aftenens hovedværk Eight Songs for a Mad King, som er fortællingen om Kong George III, der i starten af sin regeringstid tegnede til at blive en god konge, men blev syg med porfyri, demens og skizofreni. Isoleret fra alle, låst inde i et fugletårn af sin egen søn og nu både døv og blind, gik den store konge fra genial til gal. Et værk, der i sin udførelse kræver en helt unik sangteknik.

På programmet er også danmarkspremieren GBG Hardcore – et eksplosivt stykke, hvor stemmen bruges af alle musikerne på scenen. Danske Per Nørgård er repræsenteret med et slagtøjsstykke hvor skåle udgør musikkens ”sang”, og sågar en uropførelse er på programmet i form af Connor McLeans værk fra 2022, som er tilegnet Gustav Johansson.

En helt unik avantgardekoncert iklædt lysdesign og en akustisk klang af en anden verden.
