[Jun 2023] Fabian’s piece Nothing Happens for accordion and string trio has been selected for the 2023 ISCM World New Music Days! The festival is an annual international showcase of new music, this year taking place in South Africa (Johannesburg and Cape Town), from November 24th to December 3rd. It will be the first ISCM festival ever to be held in Africa — and incidentally, this will also be the first time Fabian’s music is performed on the continent.
