Resistance Resonance

Based in the Twin Cities, the 113 Composers Collective was formed in 2012 to create immersive opportunities for new means of musical expression, including through their annual Twin Cities New Music Festival. Their association with Duo Gelland extends back over a decade, and Resistance/Resonance presents highlights of the resultant repertoire for two violins, music that is intimate and charged with the insight of close collaboration. Duo Gelland is an eminent European ensemble who turned an 18th century concept into the driving force of contemporary exploration. Their passionate, profound and playful interpretations earned them the Annual German Record Critics' Award 2008, Swedish Nutida Sound 2011, Fanfare Yearbook 2001. They revive forgotten gems with historically inspired insight, and in close collaboration with composers they bring new scores to life - so far nearly 200.
