Daniel Agi, Das Neue Ensemble & Stehan Meier

Das Neue Ensemble
was founded by its members under the artistic direction of Stephan Meier in Hannover in 1993 and has since then risen to take its rightful place among the leading international contemporary music ensembles. In 2005 it received the ‘Inventio-Preis’, awarded by the ‘Deutsche Musikrat’ for innovative programme concepts. Its ‘Gelbe Klänge’ in Sprengel Museum Hannover brought together music and the visual arts, stellar compositions rang out under the open sky in ‘Moonlight Serenade’, and ‘DaDaBus’ traced the life and work of Kurt Schwitters. Its programmes for children captivate new listeners, and since 1996 the ‘Mobile Musik’ subscription concert series has reached an exceptionally wide audience.

Das Neue Ensemble is supported by its friends association, Musik für heute e.V., which also provides rehearsal rooms and office space in the Alte Grammophonfabrik (old gramophone factory) and develops new audiences with concert introductions and private ‘house concerts’. Its honorary president is Helmut Lachenmann.
