For those whole love surprises, the Atlas Ensemble gives an adventure. The music from this evening comes from the summery Atlas Academy.

The result: a programme of premieres for unique instrumental combinations from different cultures, written by composers with various backgrounds. The Atlas Ensemble is under the direction of Artjom Kim and consists of: Duruba Ghosh, sarangi; Nizar Rohana, ud and Harrie Starreveld, Shakuhachi.
