New music and hybrid-art production company, Kammerklang presents Ablaze, a fire-themed birthday gig celebrating five years of creating music, art, dance and theatre.

Over the past 5 years, Kammerklang has commissioned and presented 30 new musical works by 18 different composers, for forces ranging from solos to 21-piece chamber orchestras. 30 new artworks by 20 different visual artists have been presented in various media, including multiple video works, live dance and even circus performance.

Kammerklang Ablaze features many of our favourite pieces and artworks from over the years and we’re very excited to showcase the new work our amazing composers and artists have produced for our fifth birthday. The project draws on all the Kammerklang artforms; chamber music, visual art, film, dance and theatre, cross-pollinating ideas to create an amazing and unique experience.
