Strings N´Drums in Resonance
Strings N´Drums in Resonance är ett samarbetsprojekt mellan fransk-brasilianska tonsättaren och gitarristen
Aurelio Edler-Copes och den klassiska gitarristen och kompositören Sebastián Caldas Zeballos.
Projektet har stöd från Konstnärsnämnden och har som mål att utveckla och förmedla den nutida gitarrmusikrepertoaren som t ex ett improvisatoriskt verk för två gitarrer och candombe, trummor som spelar av sig själva och interagerar med musikerna.
