New Works
Yareta
Germaine Sijstermans
Germaine Sijstermans presents the site-specific installation with composition Yareta, on view for three weeks this spring at Quartair in The Hague. The installation is open to all visitors during opening hours, with the music playing through four speakers. Visitors are invited to wander freely through the space; listening, watching, thinking, lazing, and daydreaming.
Becoming
Sól Ey
Becoming explores the crossroad of humans and machines, and how new forms of intimacy and hierarchy can emerge from that encounter. Created by Sól Ey in collaboration with Modelo62, this participatory performance-installation invites visitors to step into a sensory environment of interactive soundscape and breathing forms.
Deltas
Nahuel Cano
Deltas is an interdisciplinary music theatre performance by composer and performance maker Nahuel Cano in collaboration with musical ensemble Modelo62 and filmmaker Juan Fernández Gebauer. The work combines live music, film and storytelling to connect personal and ecological losses through the lens of grief while following the course of two rivers: the Paraná in Argentina and the Rhine, in the Netherlands.
Sound Explorers
Luz Lassizuk & Modelo62
“Sound explorers” is an experiential music-theater piece that invites the audience to connect with surrounding reality in a sensorial way. With sound as the main element, but combining hearing with other sensorial possibilities, the piece will be presented as a playground where all the family members are invited to explore and discover interaction possibilities. Musicians from ensemble Modelo62 will guide the journey.

Cross-field collaborations
Modelo62 works with artists and organisations from different fields. We forms close collaborations with artists, developing new work and talent. We place an emphasis on combining the commissioning of works of upcoming composers with those from more established ones. These commissions have formed a good part of the ensemble’s growing repertoire of tailor-made premieres over the 20 years of the ensemble existence.
