One of the world’s leading new music ensembles, Ensemble Modern has been a loudspeaker for the music of our times for the past four decades. The Ensemble has established itself as an essential, aesthetically versatile amplifier for trend-setting sound concepts. A two-time Grammy nominee, the Ensemble strives to achieve the highest possible degree of authenticity by working closely with the composers. The diverse, self-administered work of Ensemble Modern never stops questioning musical and concert conventions. This is reflected in the Ensemble’s richly varied repertoire, which includes musical theatre works, dance and multimedia projects, chamber music, ensemble and orchestral concerts. 

The upcoming project is dedicated to the traditional Frankfurt Book Fair, and the 2023 Frankfurter Buchmesse Guest of Honour – Slovenia. Devoted exclusively to Slovenian composers, the programme pays special tribute to Slovenia’s new music, to be premiered before the discerning international audiences in Bamberg, Germany. Internationally renowned soprano Nika Gorič, Audience Award winner at the 2022 Mecklenburg-Vorpommern Festspiele, further contributes to the concert’s overall Slovenian theme.
