ENSEMBLE KNM Berlin
Ensemble KNM Berlin — since its foundation in 1988 — has presented programs across the world that reflect a curiosity to explore the unknown and the willingness to confront the most pressing themes of our times. The ensemble presents compositions, concert installations, and concert projects created in close cooperation with composers, authors, conductors, artists, and stage directors from around the world. Since 2014, KNM Berlin has been increasingly committed to musical, multi-perspective networking with intercultural collaborations worldwide. Whether in Argentina, India, Japan, Cambodia, Korea, Mexico or Taiwan — the musicians of Ensemble KNM confront the pressing questions of globalization with surprising concepts and intercultural collaborations.
KNM Berlin has earned an international reputation with repeated guest appearances at important music festivals such as the Donaueschinger Musiktage, MaerzMusik in Berlin, ars musica in Brussels, Festival d’Automne in Paris, and Wien Modern in Vienna, as well as with its own productions such as HouseMusik or KNM New Music Spa. Concert tours have taken the ensemble to the Teatro Colon in Buenos Aires, Carnegie Hall in New York, Suntory Hall in Tokyo, and the National Concert Hall in Taipei.
KNM’s discography comprises more than 18 CDs to date; the KNM was awarded the German Record Critics’ Award in 2021 as well as in March 2009 and 2010 for its collaboration with the composer Beat Furrer.
