There are no set rules here; everything is always new: in the notabu.ensemble neue musik’s chamber music series, the Trautvetter-Brückner Hall is transformed into a laboratory for experimentation.
At times quiet and meditative, at times bombastic and rousing – the audience experiences the boundlessness of contemporary musical languages from up close alongside the musicians. Thirty minutes before each concert, the ‘Spacewalk’ introductory series offers the chance to get to know the composers and the works on the programme in advance.
