Ensemble New Babylon - ECHO

In the organizer's words:

Concert | PREMIERE

A pan-European cooperation of three ensembles from Southern Europe, Central Europe and Eastern Europe on the topic of fake news and right-wing nationalism.

For the "ECHO" project, the ensemble New Babylon is collaborating with the Vertixe Sonora Ensemble from Spain and the Melos New Vocal Music Collective - an eight-voice women's choir from Lithuania. Every day we experience how a piece of news on social media or a statement by a political figure can multiply at lightning speed, become emotionally charged and spread like an avalanche to the point of violence and death threats. All of this happens without any assessment of the truth of the original topic.

It becomes dramatic when the new generative artificial intelligences also duplicate false statements and this ultimately leads to the strengthening of right-wing nationalist parties. The "ECHO" project will feature three world premieres by Rūta Vitkauskaitė (*1984, Lithuania), Ramón Souto (*1976, Spain) and Alexander F. Hooper (*1987, Germany).
