About the event
With the boom of the ‘Mega-City’, more than half of the world’s population is now living in cities such as Cairo, Mexico-City or Jakarta. This produces a strong and dynamic environment. The Ensemble Modern has therefore invited composers to take part in their project "into...". For this special project four composers are going to live and work for four weeks in Istanbul, Dubai, Johannesburg or the Pearl River Delta. The presentation of their creations - a compositional approximation for each city - will be performed at the Konzerthaus Berlin.Artists
Ensemble Modern, Orchestra
Ensemble Modern is a chamber ensemble dedicated to the music of modern composers. Formed in 1980, the group is based in Frankfurt, Germany and made up variously of about twenty members from numerous countries.
Ensemble Modern tour widely and have released many recordings, performing works by such composers as Charles Ives, Olivier Messiaen, Kurt Weill, Edgard Varèse, Karlheinz Stockhausen, Conlon Nancarrow, Steve Reich, George Benjamin, Frank Zappa, Anthony Braxton, Heiner Goebbels and many others. They are highly regarded for their ability to play difficult music with complex rhythms and tempi. In 2003 the group received an ECHO.
