KoncertKirken Organ Sound Art Festival er en 5-dages musik- og lydkunstfestival i KoncertKirken på Blågårds Plads, som i år løber af stabelen den 14-18. maj.
15 danske og internationale kunstnere præsenterer her musik- og lydværker, der tager udgangspunkt i kirkens romantiske hovedorgel (Marcussen, 1926), og kirkens særlige rum og akustik, ofte sammen med forskellige elektroniske processer.
Festivalen ønsker at udforske relationen mellem lyd, musik og arkitektur samt promovere nye kreative møder mellem de deltagende kunstnere.
Der er to koncerter med 2 solister eller duos hver aften. Værkerne som præsenteres er alle direkte komponerede, eller skabte live, til festivalen.
Tickets: 100 DKK / stud: 50 DKK per evening.
Partout: 300 DKK / stud: 150 DKK

Áine O’Dwyer (IE/UK)
is an Irish musician based in London whose recent double album of improvised organ music, Music for Church Cleaners vol. I & II, is a modern minimalist magnum opus of the highest order. With a background that combines Irish traditional music and contemporary performance, she has created a multi-layered, exploratory, and experiential work that begs questions of historicism and the social proximities of the everyday, as well as the presumed nature of records themselves.
