"It moved over everything from soft melancholic strings to Balkan melody to serenades for bagpipes, bird whistles, melodica, kazoo and slinky. In the latter, there was an unscheduled coda from the pipe animal, which for a while broke down the solemn concert atmosphere and sent the ensemble and the audience into a joint fit of laughter."

ABOUT
Wolfskin Ensemble is a Copenhagen-based contemporary ensemble led by the 7 musicians of the group. WE works as a democratic organism and focus mainly but not exclusively on original scores penned by the individual members and developed in plenum. They are dealing with a wide range of musical ideas - graphic, written as well as conventional notated - and their live performances often covers a wide palette of contrasting moods with bizarre and absurd performative pieces followed by dark and gloomy musical songs or minimalist conceptual directions.
They premiered "Maquetas" at Copenhagen's VinterJazz 2024 (a collection of self- authorship short pieces), and performed "Composition No. 193 / First Species Ghost Trance Music" by Anthony Braxton as well as "Changing the System" by Christian Wolff at Absolute FIMARA 2023.
