Driven by curiosity, artistic independence and a spirit of exploration, Ensemble Resonanz is one of the world’s most versatile string ensembles. The self-governing 21-member orchestra works without a principal conductor and approaches music as a dialogue between eras, cultures and people. Classical repertoire stands alongside contemporary works; familiar pieces are set in motion and reveal new ways of listening. Classical repertoire stands alongside contemporary works; familiar pieces are reinvigorated and open up new ways of listening.
Artistic partnerships are at the heart of Ensemble Resonanz’s work. Conductor Riccardo Minasi, the ensemble’s Principal Guest Conductor & Partner in Crime, shapes its artistic profile through distinctive and often unexpected readings of Mozart, Beethoven and other pillars of the classical repertoire, while long-standing collaborations with Tabea Zimmermann and Jean-Guihen Queyras continue to enrich its artistic identity. Patricia Kopatchinskaja, Charly Hübner, Anna Prohaska, Pablo Ferrández, Momi Maiga and Giorgi Gigashvili join the ensemble during the 26/27 season in programmes that extend beyond traditional concert formats and will feature world premieres by Enno Poppe, Rebecca Saunders, Judith Weir and Ann Cleare.
