About this event

This is a guest concert presenting Sven Helbig's choral and electronic work with the Nairobi Chamber Chorus. The event credits Wilhelm Keitel as conductor and Sven Helbig for live electronics. The musical format combines SATB choral writing with electronic accompaniment rather than staging an opera or theatrical narrative. Visuals by Icelandic video artist Máni M. Sigfússon accompany the concert. The 75-minute event presentation is longer than the work's 55-minute catalogue duration; the sources do not explain whether the difference includes additional concert material, pauses or presentation time.
