About Ensemble Musikfabrik:

Since its foundation in 1990, Ensemble Musikfabrik has had the reputation of being one of the leading ensembles for contemporary music. In keeping with the literal meaning of its name, Musikfabrik is particularly concerned with commissioning and producing new works, often in close collaboration with composers. The results of their extensive endeavours have been performed by the Cologne-based soloist ensemble in numerous concerts in Germany and around the world.

Exploring forms of modern communication and new possibilities for expression in music and theatre are a focal point for Ensemble Musikfabrik. Interdisciplinary projects including live electronics and video, dance, theatre, and visual art expand the conventional form of the conducted ensemble concert.
