KonSequenzen: Yu Kuwabara

The Japanese composer Yu Kuwabara has a documented weakness for the traditional instruments, playing and composition techniques of her Far-Eastern homeland. When she focuses on the saxophone, viola and bassoon, all deeply rooted in Western tradition, at ACHT BRÜCKEN, familiar sounds are likely to gain refreshingly new connotations. Traditions are never hermetic, nor are they necessarily limited to one cultural area – instead, they can be updated, transferred, superimposed… and that is called innovation.
