ensemble for new music and performance art
based in Copenhagen since 2019

K!ART [pronounced klart]
is an experimental music ensemble and creative platform founded by curator Mikkel Schou in 2019.
Contextualized as a hybrid between a music ensemble, a cultural production platform and an artist collective, K!ART is a stable prescence on the scene for experimental art music in Denmark. The ensemble puts on intermedial music events characterized by experimental instrumental music, staged music, music-theatre, multimedia, performance art, and an exploratory and holistic approach to curation.



In seasons 2019-2024 K!ART has presented more than 60 concerts, 140 individual works and 50 premieres. The ensemble has presented projects at a number of festivals, such as MINU_festival_for_expanded_music, SPOR Festival, Klang - Copenhagen Experimental Music Festival, Ung Nordisk Musik, Uuden Musiikin Lokakuu, Current Resonance Festival and Figura Festispiel.
