Agustí Charles, known for his chamber operas such as La Cuzzoni, esperpent d’una veu, premiered at the Staatstheater in Darmstadt (Germany), and Andròmeda encadenada, also performed in Darmstadt, is currently working on a new opera, “The Last Night of the World”, which will premiere in January at the Augsburg Opera. Additionally, non-theatrical chamber music plays a central role in his work. The Catalan composer has created the new composition “Final Frontier” for chamber ensemble, specifically for the first edition of Zukunft(s)musik of this season, which will premiere at Augsburg.
Raquel García-Tomás also focuses on stage works and chamber music. In her chamber music compositions, she experiments with electronic sounds and video installations.
