ATTACCA – Festival for Contemporary Music

The collective «The Girlz» performs works by Luigi Nono, Georges Aperghis, Kate Soper, and Lisa Streich. The instrumentation spans flute and clarinet to voice, accordion, guitar, live electronics, and cello. The hour-long concert showcases diverse compositional approaches – from poetic text settings to electroacoustic sound processing.
