Ensemble KNM Berlin

The Ensemble KNM Berlin represents Berlin’s vibrant, contemporary music scene. Since its foundation in 1988, the ensemble has presented compositions, concert installations and concert projects across the world in close cooperation with the artists. The programs reflect a curiosity to explore the unknown and the willingness to confront the most pressing themes of our time. KNM Berlin has earned an international reputation with repeated guest appearances at major music festivals such as the Donaueschinger Musiktage, Ars Musica in Brussels and Wien Modern in Vienna, but also through its own productions such as Tunings of the World 2.0. and concert tours, for example to Carnegie Hall (NYC). Since 2016, KNM Berlin has been increasingly committed to musical, multi-perspective networking with intercultural collaborations worldwide. The ensemble received the German Record Critics’ Award in 2021 for Christophe Bertrand: Vertigo and in 2009 and 2010 for their collaboration with the composer Beat Furrer.
