High Zero Festival: Eva Zöllner, accordion
Friday, September 25 | 12 pm
Music Box, Performing Arts and Humanities Building
In collaboration with the High Zero Festival of Experimental and Improvised Music, UMBC’s Department of Music presents a workshop/clinic by Eva Zöllner, who studied classical accordion in Cologne and Copenhagen and is one of the most active accordionists of her generation. As internationally acclaimed soloist, she appears in projects ranging from experimental solo performances to concerts with renowned ensembles. An important part of her work is the close cooperation with composers of her generation, having premiered more than 100 new works for her instrument. Lately she has been particularly interested in the potential of the accordion within electro-acoustic music and multimedia art. Zöllner is based in Hamburg and lives as a nomadic musician, travelling around the world to explore her instrument in different cultures and contexts.
Admission is free.
