Ensemble Insomnio performs three solo concerts. Michel van der Aa presents a new ensemble version of his classic work akin; a double concerto for violin and cello. Also on the programme is Abandoned Time by the Japanese composer Dai Fujikura, a concerto for electric guitar. The Italian composer Luca Francesconi surprises with the swinging piece Islands, a concerto for piano and ensemble. Juxtaposed with this is de telarum mechanicae (Latin for loom), written by the Englishman James Wood, which invites all ensemble players to take up the challenge to weave the virtuoso ensemble parts into a tight tapestry of melody lines.
