ensemble Intégrales

Bio:

"Communicative, curious, surprising, determined; always scratching at time, ready to transform and dissolve it." Florian Bergmeier wrote about ensemble Intégrales on the occasion of their tour to the Fadjr Festival (Iran) in spring of 2003. The ensemble for contemporary chamber music works interdisciplinary in the fields of performance, live-electronics, music theater and film music. ensemble Intégrales places great importance on ongoing creative relationships with emerging as well as established composers and has been an inspiration for many new works. It was formed in 1993 and is an ensemble primarily dedicated to the performance of 20th and 21st century classical music. What is most striking about ensemble Intégrales is their expressive style of interpretation, experimental curiosity and their enthusiasm for the variety of contemporary music. Virtuosic style, textual accuracy and responsibility towards the compositions combine with fantasy, a relaxed undogmatic attitude and a multitude of sonoric colours. This is documentated in various radio, CD and TV recordings . ensemble Intégrales plays all over Europe, Asia and America and was invited to renowned festivals like the Berliner Festwochen, Bregenzer Festspiele (D), Wien Modern, Bludenzer Tage für zeitgemäße Musik (AU), Gaudeamus Week (NL), Fadjr -festival (Iran), Ultraschallfestival, Schleswig Holstein Festival (D) and many others.
