About

Strings in the House- Ataneres’ Debut (KL) 
At first glance, string orchestra and house music belong to separate worlds. But do they have to
 be?

 With Strings in the House (SitH), the Ataneres Ensemble explores these intersections. Where
 none exist, they are meticulously created. Classical orchestration is combined with the structure
 of a DJ set. As a result, the best of both worlds thrives: typical classical themes will seduce the
 audience into a kind of trance, while trance music benefits from the harmonic and aesthetic
 depth of a full-blown string orchestra.

 This unusual synergy proves to be both convincing and compelling. Here, strings dialogue with
 analogue synthesisers. Laurent Garnier meets Arvo Pärt, and Nils Frahm goes head to head
 with Philip Glass. Minimalist treasures, cinematic highlights, and covers keep this programme
 accessible at all times.

 With SitH, three old friends (Frederik Martens, Jimmy Quintens, and Wim Spaepen) reunite in
 an unusual quest for alternative beauty. Virtual boundaries between classical music and
 extravagant parties either evaporate or are boldly ignored.

 Disclaimer: “Not for the conformist, but for the curious.” We’re bringing down the House!

 This visit takes place to celebrate Belgium's National Day with the support of the Belgium
 Embassy in Malaysia and Flemish Government's Department of Culture, Youth and Media.
