Ensemble Modern Tickets

Ensemble Modern is a pioneering German contemporary music ensemble based in Frankfurt, founded in 1980. Unique in structure, the group operates without a fixed artistic director and is democratically run by its musicians, delivering a dynamic, collaborative creative process. Known for rehearsing around 70 new works per year and presenting approximately 100 concerts annually, Ensemble Modern is a staple of international contemporary music, with frequent festival appearances across Europe.

From bold festival stages in Aix-en-Provence, Salzburg, and the Berliner Festspiele to intimate concert halls, Ensemble Modern continually investigates the edges of sound, form, and performance practice. In 2024, the ensemble was honored with the Silver Lion of the Venice Biennale (Biennale Musica di Venezia), underscoring its impact on the global contemporary music landscape.

As part of its ongoing artistic program, the ensemble plans a vibrant 2025-26 commissioning and recording slate, including new portrait CDs via Ensemble Modern Media and major performances honoring landmark anniversaries. The ensemble maintains an active social media presence to share tours, releases, and events with fans around the world.

Upcoming events feature a robust touring schedule across major European cities. In 2025-26, look for Lachenmann’s 90th Birthday concerts, new portrait CDs like draad and Ariadni’s Thread, and the collaboration on Enno Poppe’s Körper with SWR Vokalensemble.
