Das Orchester – contemporary ensemble (founded 1999)
was the result of a staging of a theatre piece based on the book "Prayer for Chernobyl" by the Belarusian writer Svetlana Aleksijevich. The unusual constellation was in fact, to a certain extent, inspired by the subject of the book. However, the combination of instruments with their disparate characters, presented no existing repertoire and the first piece performed by the ensemble was written by the cellist, Chrichan Larson.
Since that first theatre production, Das Orchester has through the years collaborated with numerous composers producing a solid repertoire base. Exploring the heterogeneous mystery of the three instruments as a constellation forming a chamber trio, has proved to be an exciting challenge. So far, the ensemble has performed throughout Scandinavia, Germany and France. Apart from the purely musical performances, Das Orchester has also produced concerts in collaboration with singers and dancers.
