CONTINUU||M’s musical language moves in a sphere between old and new, between the 17th and 21st centuries, between knowledge and innovation, between vocal and instrumental music. A new and promising ensemble, CONTINUU||M seeks out new concepts – without losing sight of the original material. Based in Berlin, harpsichordist Elina Albach works together with artists who overcome the boundaries of the established music scene and who aspire to enrich concert life through excellent quality, rather than quantity. CONTINUU||M made its debut at the Köthener Bach Festtage and at the ION in Nuremberg in Spring 2015, concerts in the WDR Funkhaus concert series in Cologne and at the Thüringer Bachwochen 2016. In April 2016, CONTINUU||M toured Bolivia by invitation of the Goethe Institute. The ensemble’s first CD recording, a co-production of Bayrischer Rundfunk, is due to be released in 2017. Current engagements in 2017 include Radialsystem V, International Händelfestpiele-Göttingen and CONTINU||M is chosen for the EEEmerging Residence Programm in Ambronay/France, 2017. |
