Clarinettist Heather Roche and accordionist Eva Zöllner are two of contemporary music’s most versatile and adaptable voices. Known for their independent travels in experimental performance and extended techniques, the duo come together in concerts of constantly changing aesthetics and approaches. Adventurous music-making, creative risk-taking and innovation characterise their work. In co-operation with composers from different parts of the world, they have created a new and exciting repertoire.
At hcmf// 2022, their programme highlights new work developed over two recent tours – one to Sweden in 2021, and the other to Colombia in September 2022 – as well as a new piece by Christopher Fox, created during the pandemic and receiving its World Premiere at hcmf//.
Produced by hcmf// supported by STIM in collaboration with Stim Forward Fund, Export Music Sweden, Västra Götalandsregionen, The Swedish Composers Society (FST) and the Embassy of Sweden
