Schallschatten // Klára Pudláková

Join us for an extraordinary audiovisual event, Schallschatten, featuring the exceptional duo Birgit Ulher (trumpet, radio, speaker, objects, video) and Petr Vrba (trumpet, electronics).

✨ This unique collaboration transcends traditional instrument boundaries through the use of extended techniques, innovative preparations, and electronic elements. Their journey began after a triumphant performance at The NOW now festival in Sydney, where they were paired to create a mesmerizing auditory experience.

Their debut album, Schallschatten, released in 2021 by the Slovenian label Inexhaustible Editions, has garnered acclaim for its unique auditory offerings.
