An exploration of the duality between hi- and lo-fi, and of water, as giver and taker of life: this is the piece entitled Underwater Music #1 by Beniamino Fiorini, nominee for the Gaudeamus Award 2024, and performed in this concert by the Riot Ensemble. Plus a brand new work by fellow nominee Cem Güven. In recent years, Gaudeamus has built up a lasting relationship with this exciting British ensemble, and we are proud to welcome them again this year.
This concert is made possible through collaboration with the Ulysses Network and is financially supported by the Creative Europe program of the European Union.
