Ensemble Cairn in Paris by composer Jérôme Combier thirteen years ago. The name Cairn is derived from the small heaps of stones which act as landmarks for hikers along mountain trails, each walker passing by expected to add a stone. This has been Ensemble Cairn’s ambition: to create an ensemble in which everyone is actively involved in organising concerts as well as in constructing musical programmes.        

The concert will include a reading by Tor Åge Bringsværd from his new novel 'SLIPP HÅNDTAKET NÅR DU VRIR'. Awarded a Arts Council of Norway Honorary Award in 2010, Bringsværd is an eminent Norwegian author & playwright, widely regarded as the first Norwegian to write science fiction literature.

'Gone' was produced by IRCAM and commissioned by the French Government

Cairn is supported in its projects by the Direction Régionale des Affaires Culturelles d’Île-de-France and the Sacem.
