|
Apartment House was created by cellist Anton Lukoszevieze in 1995.
Since then its original and innovative programming has gained Apartment
House the reputation as one of the most exciting contemporary music
groups in Europe. While performing a wide range of new music, the
seeds of the Apartment House repertoire stem from the hard-core
European avant-garde, the joyful anarchy of The Scratch Orchestra
and the exploratory nature of experimental music. Apartment House
embrace a broad range of acoustical and theatrical situations within
which volatile and stimulating performances occur.
Apartment House's performances have included world premières
of music by a wide variety of composers. Notable portrait events
have featured Christian Wolff, Jerry Hunt, Luc Ferrari, Dieter Schnebel,
Christopher Fox, Laurence Crane, Helmut Oehring, Clarence Barlow,
Philip Corner and Richard Ayres. Titled with reference to the Cage
work Apartment House 1776, the group is of flexible instrumentation,
allowing for a vast range of performance possibilities. Apartment
House has made numerous broadcasts for BBC Radio 3 as well as Danish
Radio, Swedish Radio 2, WDR Cologne and Deutschlandfunk, Berlin.

The ensemble enjoys a close relationship with Irish composer Jennifer

Apartment House's most recent large-scale project was "Die Schachtel", an environment for musicians, performers, space, video installation, lighting and electronics based on the music by Franco Evangelisti and the scenario by Franco Nonnis. In collaboration with "labor für musik:theater" Apartment House performed this work at Sophiensaele in Berlin as part of the Ultraschall Festival in January 2006.
