She embodies Pele, the fire goddess, who ignites passion in us, makes us debate heatedly and argue furiously. She paints a comforting picture of a familiar hand in your own in the dead of night. She leaves the space-time-continuum in search of the intangible that can be experienced but not explained:
BASSticcio – a multimedia microcosm of contemporary music for bass clarinet.
In her first solo programme, Anna Koch weaves innovative commissioned compositions with her own improvisations into an unheard-of whole, seeking to cross boundaries and find common ground.

Im still floating on cloud nine! So happy about how my solo program turned out. Next time I’m going to play an encore for sure, to prolong the feeling on stage just for some more minutes.
