Ensemble for New Music Tallinn
​
Since its establishment in 2012, the Ensemble for New Music Tallinn aimed to bring about fresh, non-conformist and newly perceived music to a new generation of audience. Having a focal point of expertise on various intonation systems, has developed ENMT into a specialized unit to execute just the kind of microtonal intricacies and technical gymnastics required for micro-interval music and to a larger extend for repertoire of alternative intonation and experimental contemporary music.
Ensemble Ascolta
​
Ensemble Ascolta has enriched the New Music scene in Germany and Europe with unique sound colors and innovative projects since 2003. Ascolta has commissioned and premiered more than 250 compositions for its unusual instrumental formation, including works by Pierluigi Billone, Chaya Czernowin, Beat Furrer, Isabel Mundry, Olga Neuwirth, and Hans Thomalla. The ensemble has been invited to important New Music festivals – including the Donaueschingen Festival, the Witten Days for New Chamber Music, Festival Eclat in Stuttgart, the Lucerne Festival, Ultima Oslo, and Wien Modern – and has performed internationally in Singapore, Israel, and the USA.
Broken Frames Syndicate
​
Broken Frames Syndicate is a ten-piece ensemble of soloists based in Frankfurt am Main dedicated to the interpretation of contemporary music and the expansion of contemporary concert culture. The ensemble was awarded the Ernst von Siemens Music Foundation Ensemble Prize in 2024 for its innovative projects and unmistakable waves already being felt in the frequencies of contemporary music.
​
Ensemble of Nomads
​
A new music group based nowhere and everywhere, as its name suggests. EoN is strongly focused on the creation of new works and programs that experiment with seamless interaction of digital and analog instruments as well as a strong multimedia component.
