Ensemble Klang Systematiek

Founded by clarinettist Gareth Davis, Ensemble Klang Systematiek brings together leading musicians from across the continent with backgrounds spanning contemporary classical, electronic, improvised, and experimental music. Members are drawn from ensembles, bands and collectives including Klangforum Wien, Musikfabrik, Motorpsycho, Raster-Noton, and the ICP, creating a meeting point for distinct musical traditions and perspectives.

Seeking to transform the soundscape and erase the boundaries between composition and performance, Klang Systematiek will make its Cyprus debut opening the 17th International Pharos Contemporary Music Festival, on Friday 2 October at The Shoe Factory in Nicosia, with an immersive programme of world premieres by Stavros Choplaros, Arturo Corrales and Barbara Monk Feldman, and Cyprus premieres by Kaija Saariaho, Oscar Bianchi, Jürg Frey and George Christofi.
