With Duo con : Fusion

Marion Fermé (recorder and voice) has cooperated with Duo con : Fusion, made up of the composers and interpreters Marcia Lemke-Kern and Sascha Lino Lemke (they were awarded the 1st Prize at the ECPNM competition for electronic music at Gaudeamus 2007).

Their collaboration “Nicht im Traume” / “Never… in a dream” is a lively concert programme full of humour and action, which combines and contrasts contemporary with medieval music.  The different techniques and repertoires explore acapella singing, instrumental playing, electronics and computer music, video as well as theatrical elements on stage, the merger of these media promising some pleasant surprises.
