FIGURA Ensemble have spent more than a quarter of a century in a continuous and dedicated process of development, exploring music and the opportunities it provides. Their many initiatives transcend genres and art forms, and reflect a high level of ambition. FIGURA is a well-established institution on the Danish music scene, and yet they have managed to maintain their open-mindedness, vitality and extremely high quality. The ensemble has made a particularly strong impression in modern musical drama, and has premiered numerous highly acclaimed performances, including MIKI Alone (by @Peter Bruun) and The Motion Demon (by @Steingrímur Rohloff). FIGURA is also behind the award-winning project “Small Composers”, which runs creative musical workshops for children. In addition the ensemble have in a decade generously hosted its own artistically ambitious festival: FIGURA Festspiele. In 2009, along with Corona la Balance, they were awarded the Reumert Prize for Children’s Theatre Performance of the Year for “Story of a Mother”. In 2017 they were nominated for The Nordic Councils Music Prize. FIGURA Ensemble consists of Helene Gjerris (mezzo-soprano), Anna Klett (clarinet), Jesper Egelund (double bass), Frans Hansen (percussion), Peter Bruun (composer), Filippa Berglund (architect and set designer) and Ursula Andkjær Olsen (poet). Artistic Manager: Anna Klett, Producer: Stine Marie Mortensen.
