RUBEN HØGH | CONCERT
2026-10-08 19:00 - 20:30 (America/New_York) | Scandinavia House, 58 Park Avenue, New York, NY, 10016, United States
Join us on October 8 for an evening with Danish pianist and former ASF Fellow Ruben Høgh! With a strong focus on sonic experimentation and commitment to artistic innovation, Høgh moves freely between European classical traditions and the raw energy of New York’s Downtown scene.

Particularly drawn to the resonating textures and sonic landscapes of post-rock and inspired by composers like Julia Wolfe, John Adams, Steve Reich, Olivier Messiaen and Dmitri Shostakovich, he explores new forms of pianism that both challenge and build on conventions and create immersive concert experiences where the distance between stage and audience dissolves. This includes the use of extended techniques, prepared piano, as well as electronic textures and software.

HAMPUS ÖHMAN-FRÖLUND: MOTVALSEN
2026-10-15 19:00 - 20:30
Join us on October 15 for an unforgettable evening with Hampus Öhman-Frölund as he plays selections from his new solo record, “Motvalsen”!
“Motvalsen” (2026) is the first drums / percussion solo record from NYC-based Swedish drummer Hampus Öhman-Frölund. Blending acoustic percussion with electronics, samples, and instruments from Sweden, the album explores his experience of leaving home, building a life in New York in his mid-twenties, and finding new ways to engage with his cultural roots in the diaspora. Inspired by the textures and spirit of Scandinavian folk music—without claiming a place within that tradition—Motvalsen presents a deeply personal electro-acoustic meditation on memory, distance, and transnational belonging.
