Dear audience

how can you plan for the unknown?

How can we present a season preview when conditions are anything but clear due to the pandemic?

AGAIN ONWARDS – this has a bit of defiance and optimism: it must, indeed it will continue again. But AGAIN ONWARDS is also part of the program for the 20/21 season: return and repetition on one hand and expansiveness, pursuit and continuation on the other run like a thread through our program.

In the Freiburg subscription concerts, “the old” appears again in the form of a remix, we hear from far-away Hong Kong, a young composer once again focuses on the relationship between music and text, and an Icelandic saga is recounted from the perspective of #MeToo.

Our international concert activities have resumed. As far as international travel regulations allow, concert tours to Denmark, Spain, Luxembourg, Japan and Turkey are planned. Our newsletter, to which you are welcome to subscribe, will inform you about possible changes and activities.

AGAIN ONWARDS it goes also with our show. Enjoy browsing through our new website.

We hope you continue to remain curious about our projects and look forward to seeing you again in person. Until then, stay healthy!

POSTCOLONIAL RECHERCHE – A GLOBAL COMMUNITY OF ARTISTIC RESEARCH AND MUSICAL CREATIONWe live in a vibrant and diverse global creative community yet, in the 21st century, the so-called „contemporary music” space is still quite Eurocentric. Why actually?The Goethe-Institut and the Ensemble recherche are inviting 10 emerging composers and sound artists from developing and transition countries to collaborate in a virtual community of artistic research and music creation.This project aims to research (post-)colonialism and its consequences and to deal with this knowledge artistically, thus assuming an individual artistic stance. Further, the project aims to promote and support the 10 selected composers by giving them a voice and a platform for their artistic work. Ensemble Recherche wants to question its own patterns of valuation and gain a sensibility for promoting diversity and inclusion.Over a one-year project period, the selected composers will work closely with members of Ensemble Recherche in a mutual exchange for a total of 10 days of virtual residencies. The process is curated by Bongani Ndodana-Breen (Composer).The resulting musical works will be performed and recorded by Ensemble Recherche in late 2022. The process will be documented by Deutschlandfunk (German Public Radio). ... See MoreSee Less
