With two world premieres and a group improvisation, Kollektiv Unruhe does not only present itself as young creative ensemble, but also as interpreter of new works by its composing members Beltrán González and Nik Bohnenberger. At the impuls MinuteConcerts, July 29th, the collective will premiere another composition by one of its members, the composer José Luis Perdigón de Paz, who also actively supports the ensemble as a violinist. And on August 2nd, the program will include further compositions by young composers, with whom Kollektiv Unruhe will work in close cooperation on site during the impuls Academy.

 

Kollektiv Unruhe stands for a musical practice that is self-organised and self-responsible in shaping the conditions for its own artistic work and constantly wants to cross the boundaries to other art forms and scenes. The group, consisting of young composers and performers, shares the common conviction to plan contemporary concerts with a specific conceptual or performative dramaturgy or contextual framework. In addition to their concert activities within the ensemble collective, they also strive for a lively dialogue with the music of the last decades through their repertoire. 

The collective appeared in public with its debut concert "Unruhe" as part of the Monat der Zeitgenössischen Musik Berlin. In January 2022, Kollektiv Unruhe took part in the Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy University Competition and performed the pieces nominated by the two Berlin music universities from the composition classes. The so far latest project, "Unruhige Köpfe", was developed for the festival 48 Stunden Neukölln in 2022, and exemplifies the interdisciplinary aspect of the ensemble collective by creating the pieces through a collaborative process between video artists, composers and solo instrumentalists. ​2023 Kollektiv Unruhe takes part in the impuls Festival Graz and Klangwerkstatt Berlin.

Kollektiv Unruhe strives for continuous activity in the new music scene, and with all its concerts and projects wants to invite the audience to a memorable concert experience.
