She studied music and viola with Henrik Crafoord at the SMPV Berne and Paul Silverthorne in London, and received training in "scenic design" at the University of Art and Design Zurich. In addition to numerous solo performances at international music festivals and in theatres and museums, Hug also collaborates with other artists and often seeks out unusual venues for her performances, places that lend surprising acoustic, visual or emotional accents to her playing. She has appeared in the icy caverns of the Rhône Glacier in the Upper Valais in Switzerland as well as in the labyrinthine subterranean passageways of the "House of Detention", a 250-year-old former dungeon in the London neighborhood of Farringdon. Charlotte Hug is a member of the London Improvisers Orchestra. She collaborates with other composers both freely and conceptually, including John Butcher, John Edwards, Phil Minton, Maggie Nicols, Evan Parker, Elliott Sharp and Phil Wachsmann. Her domain encompasses the most diverse fields, including composition, improvisation, electro-acoustics, performance, music for film and musical theatre as well as in visual art and sound installations. Charlotte Hug's appearance is sponsored in part by Pro Helvetia and Suisa. Chicago based cellist Fred Lonberg-Holm has played and studied music in a variety of situations from the Juilliard School to beyond. A former student of Anthony Braxton, Morton Feldman, Bunita Marcus and Pauline Oliveros, his primary projects are his Valentine Trio and The Lightbox Orchestra. He is also a member of a number of ongoing collective projects (The Boxhead Ensemble, The Friction Brothers with Michael Zerang and Colligan, Keefe Jackson's Fast Citizens) as well as participating in numerous one off "ad-hoc" or in frequently convening ensembles. He also currently plays in groups led by Joe McPhee (Survival Unit III), Peter Brotzmann (Chicago 10tet), and Ken Vandermark (Vandermark 5, Frame Quartet, Territory Ensemble).
