On the 100th anniversary of Else Marie Pade’s birth, a group of musicians at the intersection of electronic and classical music honor the pioneering Danish composer with a tribute concert. Discover new aspects of one of Denmark’s most influential composers through a mix of rare acoustic and electronic works, alongside contemporary reinterpretations of her music.

— Danish text below —
This anniversary concert is a unique opportunity to hear Else Marie Pade’s very first purely electronic work Syv Cirkler: The original tape will be played on stage from her own Lyrec reel-to-reel tape recorder.

Although Else Marie Pade is best known for her electronic works and field recordings, a significant part of her creative output also consists of compositions for acoustic instruments. Only recently have people begun to explore these, so they are neither recorded nor often performed – but this evening, Vokalensemblet Vigdis will present some of her choral music.

Pade’s life could easily be made into a feature film: The incredible story of how she was captured by the Gestapo at the age of 18 during World War II and carved notes into the cell wall will unfold this evening when jazz singer Kira Martini and the duo Dybfølt play their interpretations of ‘Songs from a Wall’, released on Dacapo earlier this year.

Jakob Kullberg will perform her piece A Game for Cello – accompanied by visuals inspired by video game graphics, following the movements of the music.

And sound artist and composer Jacob Kirkegaard will perform parts of the piece Svævninger, which he created in collaboration with Else Marie Pade.

Last but not least, we will all join in singing the traditional birthday song – the one with the instruments! – featuring tape loops, ring modulators, and tone generators.

We hope to see you at this grand celebration of the grandmother of electronic music.

På 100-års dagen for Else Marie Pades fødsel fejrer en række musikere, på grænsen mellem det elektroniske og klassiske, denne store danske musikpioner med en hyldestkoncert. Lær én af danmarkshistoriens vigtigste komponister bedre at kende, hvor man kan høre både (sjældne) akustiske og elektroniske værker samt moderne fortolkninger af hendes musik.

Jubilæumskoncert med Dybfølt, Kira Martini, Jakob Kullberg, Vokalensemblet Vigdis, Jacob Kirkegaard, STRØM, m.fl.

Selvom Else Marie Pade er mest kendt for sine elektroniske værker og musik med reallyde, består en stor del af hendes skaberværk også af kompositioner for akustiske instrumenter. Man er først for nyligt begyndt at gå på opdagelse i dem, så de er ikke indspillet og bliver sjældent opført – men det gør de når vokalensemblet Vigdis fremfører noget af hendes kormusik.

Her er også en unik chance for at høre hendes allerførste rent-elektroniske værk Syv Cirkler, når originalbåndet bliver afspillet fra hendes egen gamle Lyrec spolebåndoptager i samarbejde med STRØM festival.

Hendes liv var nærmest en spillefilm værdig, og du kan høre den utrolige historie om hvordan hun som 18-årig under Anden Verdenskrig, blev taget til fange af Gestapo og ridsede noder ind i cellevæggen, når jazz-sangerinden Kira Martini og duoen Dybfølt spiller deres fortolkninger af ‘Sange fra en Væg’, der udkom på Dacapo tidligere på året.

Du kan opleve værket ‘Et spil for cello’ når Jakob Kullberg opfører dette værk for solo cello og en slags ‘computerspilsgrafik’ visuals, der følger musikkens bevægelser på en nøje beskrevet måde. Du kan også høre lydkunstner og komponist Jacob Kirkegaard opføre dele af værket Svævninger, han lavede i samarbejde med Else Marie Pade.

Sidst men ikke mindst kan du være med til at synge fødselsdagssang – den med instrumenterne – med båndsløjfer, ringmodulatorer og tonegeneratorer.

Vi håber at se dig til et brag af en fest for den elektroniske musiks bedstemor!
