Maverick orchestra The String Theory may be known primarily for their long-term collaboration with the gentle Swedish troubadour José González,yet have over time grown into a massive artist collective in their own right, curiously exploring the outskirts of contemporary neoclassical and electronic music. The ensemble first came together in Berlin in 2007 as the brainchild of composers Ben Lauber and PC Nackt, and has since then toured the USA and Europe five times and released five albums – one of which moved the Recording Academy to nominate it for a Grammy 2020 for ‘Best Spoken Word Album’.

Initially convening for a one-off recording workshop and week-long party with fellow artists from their native Berlin music scene, The String Theory continued to highlight the ensemble’s unique talent in the years since, re-channeling the energy of German heavyweights Richard Wagner and Einstü rzende Neubauten as well as contemporary minimalist composers like Steve Reich and John Cale into lush string arrangements and experimental electronic soundcapes. While in some contexts this may sound more like a ‘hm, interesting idea...’ rather than an actually entertaining performance concept that could engross an audience, The String Theory have managed to distill their inexorable spirit into rapturous live concerts that garnered critical praise all over Europe and the USA.
