About the Event
A mesmerizing performance featuring Manu Delago and Mad About Lemon, blending handpan, bass, and live painting. Manu Delago is a world‐renowned percussionist, hang player and composer. His work, which sits somewhere between ambient electronic and neoclassical music, combines acoustic percussion instruments with electronic rhythms and sounds from our environment. The Tyrolean musician regularly works with various artists such as Björk, Anoushka Shankar and Ólafur Arnalds and has performed as a soloist with the London Symphony Orchestra and the Metropole Orkest, among others. Now the two‐time Grammy winner and his handpan have joined forces for a major European tour with the vocal ensemble Mad About Lemon, a trio of young Tyrolean singers who experiment with three‐part choral pieces and improvisations to convey their multi‐layered musical messages. They sing about everything from glaciers and rivers to the smallest drop of water – and they tell stories about journeys and stages in life that connect us with places and people and bring about lasting change. For this program, the unusual team is complemented by the bassist Clemens Rofner. A musical encounter at its best, which will also feature live visuals – colorfully displayed art created on stage during the concert.
