1000 SOUNDS - percussion concert

Percussion encompasses a vast range of instruments with an extraordinary variety of sounds, offering composers unexpected creative possibilities. "1000 SOUNDS" is a concert that explores the many faces of contemporary music for solo percussion: from catchy, groovy rhythms to experimental soundscapes well beyond conventional listening habits. The Main-Post wrote: "Kräsch, bumm, bing and klingel - brilliant! Stunning. For 70 minutes the percussionist delivered informative, entertaining, creative and supremely virtuosic playing".

Composers on the programme:
Iannis Xenakis, Sara Glojnarić, Péter Eötvös, Karlheinz Stockhausen, Alexej Gerassimez, Ursula Mamlok, Dai Fujikura

Leonie Klein
"Breathtakingly assured", "technical perfection", "gripping performance" - critics run out of superlatives when it comes to percussionist Leonie Klein, born in 1993. She has dedicated herself to contemporary music, performing both as a soloist and in chamber ensembles, including the duo HAUSER.KLEIN.PERKUSSION with Swiss percussionist Fritz Hauser.
