MORE MUSIC! ENSEMBLE

The MEHR MUSIK! Ensemble under the artistic direction of Iris Lichtinger is a partner project of MEHR MUSIK! Augsburg and the Leopold Mozart Center of the University of Augsburg. Since 2009 we have been conceiving and presenting concert events of modern music with ambitious young musicians and professionals from the new music, jazz and classical music scene.

Press comment: "In a fragile and at the same time tense atmosphere, the ensemble surprised its audience with much that was unexpected and previously unheard, and deservedly received a long standing ovation." (Augsburger Allgemeine 9 / 2010)

Steve Reich "Music for 18 musicians" / Louis Andriessen "Workers union" / Frederic Rzewski "Coming together & Attica", "Spots" / Arvo Pärt "Fratres", "Mozart-Adagio" / Vinko Globokar " dos á dos" , "la ronde" / Terry Riley "IN C" / Enjott Schneider "Mozart-Fragmente" (UA) / Johannes X.
