NDR Bigband / Ensemble Modern

Sun, Apr 27, 2025, 20:00
Mitglieder der NDR Bigband, Mitglieder des Ensemble Modern
The idea of a joint festival between the NDR Bigband and Ensemble Modern was born during a meeting of seven big band and six Ensemble Modern musicians in autumn 2023. In improvisation phases, they explored similarities and differences. New working structures developed. Five new works and the idea of a cooperative festival crystallised in the improvisations. A programme of music that originated here and will be premiered jointly by musicians from both ensembles will conclude the »NDR Bigband meets Ensemble Modern« festival.

Wie frei ist die Kunst?

Sun, May 11, 2025, 15:00
Brigitta Muntendorf (Composer), Unai Urkola Etxabe (Composer), Leonie Reineke (Presentation), Mitglieder des Ensemble Modern (Ensemble), Elias Brown (Conductor)
The Ensemble Modern dedicates its concert series "How free is art?" to the topic of artistic freedom and its limits through music and discussions. In the series' final installment, "How free are composers?", composer Brigitta Muntendorf and Unai Urkola Etxabe discuss with Leonie Reineke the extent to which artists can incorporate personal beliefs, political stances, or influences from other cultures into their work. Hilda Paredes' "Forbidden games" (2019) deals with children detained without their parents in prisons on the US-Mexico border. Carmine-Emanuele Cella's "La mémoire de l'eau" (2014) addresses the fragility of water and our planet. Liza Lim's "The heart’s ear" (1997) takes a melody from Islamic Sufi music as its starting point.
