Nebbia / Downes / Lisle — Exhaust

Improvisational trio Nebbia, Downes and Lisle present Exhaust, a visceral set of spontaneous composition where acute listening and rapid reflexes shape each moment. Saxophonist Camila Nebbia brings a powerful, incisive voice; pianist Kit Downes favors raw immediacy and bold harmonic gestures; drummer Andrew Lisle anchors and catalyses the group with fluid, propulsive rhythms. The trio navigates between melodic counterpoint and dense, textured soundscapes, embracing contrast and continual transformation. Their debut album, Exhaust, was released on New York label Relative Pitch.

Am Stram Gram

Directed by Joël Pommerat, this new creation imagines the encounter of two very young girls who defy the laws of the real world and adult authority to preserve their pact of friendship.

Tarquinio Merula — Sacred Concertos & Instrumental Works

Ensemble Temenos presents a programme centred on Tarquinio Merula’s sacred concertos and instrumental works, with soprano Capucine Keller and an organ continuo. Merula’s music moves between contrapuntal clarity and bold expressive gestures, exploiting chromatic daring, harmonic tension and contrasting textures. The programme juxtaposes intimate vocal lines, one- or two-part instrumental writing and organ pieces, creating a narrative momentum that feels both contemplative and dramatic. Lighting of sound and silence shapes a meditative, nocturnal atmosphere.
