Improvisation - Lene Grenager, cello
Lene Grenager has worked since 1995 as a cellist and a composer. As a cellist she concentrates on improvisation, mainly for the quartets SPUNK and Lemur and as a duo with Sofia Jernberg. Together with these ensembles she has toured widely in Europe and the US.
Grenager is interested in different forms of musical notation and how it affects the musicians and the resulting sound. She collaborates with performers from different traditions, which has led her to work both with carefully constructed musical scores and graphic scores. Electronica and sampling are integral to several of her works. She was awarded the Arne Nordheim composer prize in 2018.
A part of PÅ!, a concert series focusing on contemporary composers. Our collaboration with leading musicians and ensembles brings both well-known and new performers to the stage.
