HEROINES OF SOUND EDITION #4– ELSE MARIE PADE – JUBILÄUMSKONZERTE ZUM 100. GEBURTSTAG

In the organizer's words:

Respectfully called the techno grandmother by her followers and celebrated as a Danish pioneer of musique concrète, Pade has played a pioneering role in the field of electronic music. Her personal career is equally remarkable. At the age of sixteen, Pade joined Denmark's only all-female resistance group. In 1944 - when she was just 19 years old - the Gestapo picked her up from her parents' house and she was transferred to a prison camp in Frøslev. She did forced labor here until the end of the German occupation in May 1945. Pade scratched her composition sketches into the cell walls, composing became her survival strategy, and throughout her life she remained a versatile, creative and alert artist.

Else Marie Pade would have been 100 years old on December 2, 2024. To mark this occasion, Heroines of Sound and the Zafraan Ensemble are dedicating themselves to an artistic exploration of her life and work and thus to the further dissemination of her oeuvre, especially her chamber music.
