Ensemble Mod­ern is one of the most renowned ensembles for con­tem­por­ary music world­wide. Foun­ded in 1980 and based in Frank­furt am Main, the ensemble is cur­rently shaped by 18 soloists who lead the activ­it­ies of this demo­crat­ic­ally organ­ized col­lect­ive. The aes­thet­ic range of Ensemble Mod­ern encom­passes music and dance theatre genres, mul­ti­me­dia forms, as well as cham­ber music, ensemble, and orches­tra con­certs. Every year, the ensemble premi­eres approx­im­ately 70 com­pos­i­tions, includ­ing around 20 world premi­eres, some of which it com­mis­sions itself. The com­mis­sioned works also include large-scale pieces cre­ated for the expan­ded Ensemble Mod­ern Orches­tra, which has grown to orches­tral size.
