The Bolivian Orquesta Experimental de Instrumentos Nativos (OEIN) is invited as ensemble-in-residence for 2027. The OEIN is operating less as a traditional ensemble and more as a collective platform for research, experimentation, and creation. Rooted in the sonic knowledge of the Andean region, the group has expanded its practice beyond performance to engage deeply with questions of listening, memory, and the evolving life of indigenous musical systems.
OEIN’s performances emphasize spatialization, embodiment, and the social dimension of sound. The ensemble frequently reconfigures the relationship between musicians and audience, creating immersive environments where listening unfolds as a shared experience.
Through this sustained work, OEIN has positioned itself at the intersection of indigenous knowledge and experimental music, contributing a distinct voice to global contemporary discourse.
