Always curious,
CCP has since its inception in 2003 explored a wide range of new music repertoire: from hard-core modernism to graphically notated chance music, from minimalism to noise music, and from electronics to improvisation. The ensemble has experimented with framing concerts and sound installations with a unique use of time and space, each different according to the venue and situation.

The geographical extremes of Europe have provided the arts with numerous reference points, especially in the North. The theme of the concert are the extremes of winter with its mute darkness and a summer with the sharp, undiluted intensity of the midnight sun.
CCP’s ongoing project “Nordic Darkness and Light” explores different sonic experimentations of Nordic darkness and light. Commission works by composers Arturo Fuentes, Mauricio Rodriguez, and Malin Bång started the grand opening of the project joined by music of Tatjana Kozlova, Christian Winther Christensen, and Helena Tulve in 2011. This is followed by collaborations with composers Simon Løffler and Thuridur Jonsdottir as the second generation of the project.
“avant-garde, but avant-garde with a commitment to communicate with the public without the usual pretentiousness that one finds with new music ensembles”
