Crash Ensemble make our debut visit to Tampere Biennale, Finland, this April.

Organised biennially since 1986, the festival was born out of the need to showcase music from living Finnish composers and encourage audiences to get acquainted with new music. Over the years, Tampere Biennale has developed into one of the most prestigious contemporary music events in Finland.

Our ambitious 90 minute programme includes the premiere a work commissioned by Tampere Biennale by Antti Auvinen .

🔸Mikel Urquiza (ES) (*1988): Contrapluma (2016) (ekS)
