Further program information

Once again, IEMA, the International Ensemble Modern Academy, is part of the impuls Academy and presents itself at the impuls Festival not only with solo works and contributions in small line-ups at the impuls MinuteConcerts on February 22nd, but also with two concert programs for larger ensemble. Following tonight´s program, including a premiere of this year´s young IEMA-composer Yuheng Chen aside from works by impuls Academy coaches Matthew Shlomowitz and Chaya Czernowin as well as a piece by Philippe Hurel, compositions selected at a Call for Scores – set up by impuls amongst young composer participants of the Academy and being worked on on spot – are still to be presented by IEMA-Ensemble 2024/25 on February 27th.

 

IEMA is the Ensemble Modern's training center and offers training programs for various target groups. The focus is on the Master's program, which has been run in cooperation with the HfMDK Frankfurt since 2006 and in which each year group forms its own ensemble. The IEMA Ensemble 2024/25 performs at festivals including “into the open” in Berlin and the Wittener Tage für neue Kammermusik. It will also take part in the Lucerne Festival Academy and present eight world premieres by young composers from the Composer Seminar. Further international appearances will take the ensemble to the impuls Festival in Graz and the Gaudeamus Festival in Utrecht as part of the Ulysses Platform.
