What happens when young composers set research about the Baltic Sea to music? What does it sound like when musicians play to the graphs that underwater robot scientists use? How does research on the Great Hornbill sound? Or a water shortage on Öland?
Research meets classical music in the Baltic Sea Festival’s experimental melting pot Baltic Sea Festival Science Lab, where nine young researchers and nine young composers met in workshops and shaped research about the Baltic Sea and sustainability in a completely new way in the three performances Sense of Place, Emergence and One Health.
