RITUALS / Ensemble for New Music Tallinn at AFEKT festival

Each piece in the programme opens a different kind of aperture — spatial, emotional, technological, or cultural — and the full arc of the programme reflects our ensemble’s values: curiosity, risk, and sonic diversity.

As an ensemble, we’re drawn to music that creates openings — for the audience, for ourselves, and for sound itself.

This programme is both a reflection of who we are and an invitation: to step through into expanded states of listening.
