Further program information

Once again, IEMA, the International Ensemble Modern Academy, is part of the impuls Academy and presents itself at the impuls Festival. After appearances of this season´s IEMA-Ensemble 2024/25 musicians with solo works and contributions in small line-ups as part of the impuls Minute Concerts on February 22nd, and an evening concert in a larger ensemble line-up the following day, tonight´s program holds compositions selected at a Call for Scores, set up by impuls amongst young composer participants of the Academy, which were worked on and finalised in intense exchange with the authors at impuls on spot.

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.
