A
UNIQUE REPERTOIRE
RENOMMATED COMPOSERS
WORLDWIDE ONE OF THE MOST ACTIVE CONTEMPORARY MUSIC ENSEMBLES
UMS
'N JIP ['umsnjip] is actually one of the most
innovative and outstanding Swiss contemporary music ensembles.
Founded in 2007 by Ulrike Mayer-Spohn [UMS] and Javier Hagen [JIP]
it is yet, together with Ensemble Modern, Ensemble Intercontemporain,
Kronos Quartet and Ensemble Recherche, one of the activest contemporary
music ensembles worldwide performing around 70 concerts and commissioning
around 10-15 works per year. UMS 'N JIP works on both new musical
and scenical settings for voice, recorders and electronics reflecting
live vs. digital performance as well as European vs. non-European
music. Since their studies (composing, audio design & musical
performance) in Holland, Germany, Italy and Switzerland, UMS and
JIP have been both invited to prestigious contemporary music and
theatre festivals (Avignon, TKF Zürich, TKF Lausanne, Shanghai,
Donaueschingen, Hong Kong, New York, Karlsruhe, Berlin, Basel,
Bern, Paris, Strasbourg, Moscow, St. Petersburg, Adelaide, Riga)
where they premiered as soloists and a duo more than 200 oeuvres
collaborating with world famous composers such as Goebbels, Rihm,
Kagel, Reimann, Eötvös and Guo Wenjing. UMS 'N JIP relates
to emotionally touching as well as technically virtuoso, conceptionally
perfect and sexy performances. UMS 'n JIP is coached by Irvine
Arditti. >>
