Das Orchester

Das Orchester was founded in 1999 as the result of a staging of a theatre play based on the book ”Prayer for Chernobyl” by the Belarusian writer Svetlana Aleksijevich. The unusual constellation, presenting no existing repertoire, viewed its first public appearance at this occasion, as cellist Chrichan Larson wrote music to be performed during the play. The exploration of the heterogeneous mystery of this chamber trio has proved to be an exciting enticement, challenging numerous composers, with whom the group has collaborated through the years, thus giving birth to a solid repertoire base. So far, the ensemble has performed throughout Scandinavia, in Germany and in France.
