Kali Malone presents All Life Long

Following a performance at CTM 2024, Kali Malone returns for two dates to present a full live concert version of her album All Life Long for pipe organ, choir, and brass quintet. The music of All Life Long simmers in an ever-shifting tension between repetition and variation. The pieces for brass, organ, and voice provide nearly continuous timbral fluctuation even as thematic material reiterates, their internal framework of fractal pattern permutations has the paradoxical effect of creating anticipated keystone moments of dramatic reverie and lulling the listener into believing in an illusory endlessness.

Sounding the massive organ in Berlin’s iconic Kaiser-Wilhelm-Gedächtniskirche with additional organ accompaniment by Stephen O’Malley, Malone will be joined by Macadam Ensemble vocal quartet, and a five-piece microtonal brass ensemble consisting of Elena Kakaliagou, Johannes Lauer, Magnus Schriefl, Rike Huy, and Weston Olencki.
