This prize-winning Danish-Latvian ensemble brings truly unique and innovative chamber music experience to audiences, and FOCM is thrilled to present them to Stockton audiences!
CARION fascinates with its carefully choreographed and dramatized performances of classical and modern works, making music on stage visible, thus adding a new dimension to traditional concert events.
No chairs. No music stands, nothing. The way Carion fill the stage with musical and emotional content is something remarkable.
– Allgemeine Zeitung
CARION’S fresh approach to chamber music has brought acclaimed performances in Europe’s most prestigious festivals like Rheingau Festival, Kissinger Sommer, Beethovenfest Bonn, Bergen Festival, Tonhalle MAAG as well as has earned standing ovations from audiences of the USA, South America and the the Far East. CARION has released 6 highly critically acclaimed CDs – including stellar reviews from Gramophone and BBC magazine, awards from Danish radio and best classical album of 2015 on iTunes. But nothing compares to their trend setting music videos on Youtube that continue generating views counted in millions, the landmark performance of Ligeti’s Six Bagatelles being used as an example and a reference recording to music students worldwide.
Join us for a wonderful concert!
