musikFabrik Köln

From its beginnings, the musikFabrik has been considered a leading orchestra for contemporary music, and is a strong proponent of artistic innovation, of the unknown and the unusual. Working closely together with composers, this ensemble of soloists from Cologne presents the results each year on more than a hundred stages in Germany and internationally.

Kim Ngoc

After completing her classical education at the Conservatory of Music in Hanoi, Kim Ngoc studied contemporary music history and composition both in Hanoi and at the Hochschule für Musik in Cologne. In her work she moves between performance, theater and concert and as such is forging entirely new paths in Vietnam. Her Music Theater pieces have been well received internationally. In 2006 Kim Ngoc was a guest at the Munich Biennial for Contemporary Music, and she is regularly in the USA as well as in France and Germany for, among others, the Silk Road Project, residencies and with working scholarships. In 2004 she worked with Felix Ruckert on the production Venus in Hanoi. Her piece What makes the spider spin her web premiered in 2007.
