IEMA-Ensemble 2025/26
Continuum XXI

In Continuum XXI, the IEMA-Ensemble 2025/26 has invited an ensemble dedicated to Ancient and New Music using only historical Instruments, thereby linking both worlds. The programme opens with Georg Friedrich Haas’ ›tria ex uno‹, a classic of modernism which quotes Josquin Desprez and thus the world of the Renaissance. The work ›collapse‹ by Alberto Arroyo is a metaphor for the breakdown indicated by its title:

poetic, sensuous surfaces develop further and further, until they collapse in a staggering sonic heap. Inspired by current political events, social conflicts and ecological catastrophes, Eloain Lovis Hübner’s ›crunch modes‹ deals with the dystopian sensitivities of our time. Here, electronic means create unforeseeable moments within a composed structure. The two world premieres by this year’s IEMA composer Haotian Yu and the Spanish composer Diego Ramos Rodríguez explore this year’s Festival theme, SCHWÄRMEN.

Duration: ca. 100 min incl. break

As part of the master's programme ›Internationale Ensemble Modern Akademie – Contemporary Music Performance‹ at the Frankfurt University of Music and Performing Arts (HfMDK) and the Ulysses Platform, with the support of the European Union.
