    #about

    Rooted in a trans-medial landscape, the „pioneers of idiosyncrasy“, Ensemble Garage,
    present with STING ME, STING ME! new compositions that are based between music, performance and intermediality.
    A hybrid of premieres between Germany and Finland features recent works from the younger and youngest composer generation and invites us to enter different spaces, in which music not only sounds but also refers to other professions and environments. Ensemble Garage invites you to be stung and bitten, involved and left alone, welcomed into a referential world of musically-based experiences.

  • Karambolage II

    Karambolage II im Goethe Institut in Paris

    Mit Karambolage I-II initiiert das Ensemble Garage 2011 ein Austauschkonzert zwischen Paris und Köln. Mit dem Konzert Karambolage I gastierte das Ensemble im Mai 2011 bei dem Acht-Brücken Festival in Köln. Ziel des Konzertes war einen Überblick über das heutige Schaffen in Paris zu geben, von verschiedenen Studenten Gerárd Pessons bis hin zu Pierre Boulez. Das Ensemble Garage arbeitete dafür mit Julien Jamet, Denis Chouillet und Mathieu Bonilla zusammen, drei Vertreter der jungen Pariser Generation, sowie mit Pierre Boulez  persönlich in einer intensiven Probenphase in Düsseldorf.

    Das zweite Konzert wird nun am 21. Dezember im Goethe Institut in Paris stattfinden. In diesem Konzert geht es darum, die Vielfältigkeit der Szene für zeitgenössische Musik in Deutschland aufzuzeigen.
