THE REMIX ENSEMBLE
An essential structure of the Casa da Música, the Remix Ensemble has already presented for the first time, almost twenty new works. From the beginning of 2000, under the direction of the titular conductor, Stefan Asbury, the eclecticism of his repertoire extends itself into incursions into music for the theatre and for films, dance, and jazz, together with the promotion of numerous work-shops with composers such as Mark-Anthony Turnage, James Dillon, Brice Pauset, Magnus Lindberg, Emmanuel Nunes and António Pinho Vargas. Until the present time, among the conductors invited to conduct the Remix Ensemble, are Ilan Volkov, Anton Lukoszevieze, Brad Cohen, Miquel Bernat, Michael Zilm, Sarah Ioannides, Kasper de Roo, Pierre-André Valade, Stuart Stratford, Rolf Gupta, Peter Rundel, Jonathan Stockhammer, Peter Bergamin, Jurjen Hempel, Franck Ollu and Yoishi Sugiyama among others. On the international level the Remix Ensemble appeared in May 2001 in the “Ensems – XXIII International Festival of Contemporary Music of Valencia”, the Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival, United Kingdom, 2003 edition and in 2004, in Barcelona, “La Pedrera”, in the sphere of an official exposition on Portuguese modernism in which Emmanuel Nunes interpreted music for the Catalan public. 2004 and 2005 will bring diverse world premieres, among which are included the first operas of Emmanuel Nunes and James Dillon (this last one a co-production in the field of Réseau Varèse) and various works of composers such as Rebecca Saunders, Iris ter Schiphorst, Frédéric Durieux, António Pinho Vargas, Toshio Hosokawa, Johannes-Maria Staud and Olga Neuwirth, among others.
