PROJECTS
MUSIC & ART
interdisciplinary project
“Art painting allows people to feel different emotions through the colours and figures. Music intensifies these emotions through different sounds and nuances.”
As a saxophonist, Sonja regularly collaborates with artists from various disciplines to create innovative performances. This always results in new and varied concert formats.
A small insight into her most recent project in Vienna, together with the artist Udo Hohenberger.
SOMNIUM DUO
contemporary music duo
As the Latin word ‘somnium’ (dream) indicates, the two young musicians Sonja Oberkofler and Mark Seres have set themselves the goal of creating new repertoire in contemporary music and sharing it with the world.
With the two instruments saxophone and guitar, the duo creates fascinating new soundscapes – a rarely heard line-up.
The use of the electric guitar and various saxophones, often complemented by live electronics, opens up completely new possibilities in the development of the repertoire.
SAGS QUARTET
saxophone quartet
The quartet’s name is derived from the German word ‘sag’s’, which means ‘say it’. It is a symbol of their mission to communicate with the audience through music.
The ensemble’s repertoire includes original works as well as arrangements of classical and contemporary music that reflect the various tonal facets of the saxophone.
The four musicians also enrich the music with poems by renowned South Tyrolean authors.
VENTURO
contemporary performance
With a name derived from “adventure” and “vento” (wind), they aim to inspire audiences with new ways of experiencing chamber music.
In their work, Venturo explores various topics, blending music with elements of performing art, poetry and improvisation.
They also offer educational programs for young audiences, fostering a love for music through engaging, interactive experiences.
