The near future will bring a new recording featuring works by Mozart and Hindemith as well as most notable performances (i.e. Zurich Tonhalle in Switzerland) and continued work on expanding the woodwind genre.
A major project will be a very special commissioned work under the common theme – “30 years of Baltic way” by three Nordic composers (Britt Bystrom, Anders Nordentoft and Andris Dzenītis) in cooperation with German dramaturg Jochen Sandig. Together the artists will create a completely new type of concerto and unique performance for CARION with symphony orchestra incorporating elements of drama, light performance and cultural happening.
About the repertoire
Carion presents a varied and interesting repertoire. The ensemble is well founded in the established wind quintet works but has received most favourable critique for their interpretation of Carl Nielsen, French composers like Jean Françaix and especially the Six Bagatelles by György Ligeti. Carion has worked with several composers, most notably with Morten Skovgård Danielsen, and can also present a unique range of arrangements by their own horn player, David M.A.P. Palmquist.
