Bio: lovemusic was founded in 2018 by Adam Starkie and Emiliano Gavito in Strasbourg, a new music hub in the heart of Europe. The collective takes its name from the eponymous work by Betsy Jolas, which was the starting point of their musical collaboration. They began by creating a new music concert series at the Bibliothèque nationale et universitaire de Strasbourg, which became the epicentre of experimentation for the collective, inviting composers and musicians to create new music presented in various formats.
