ergon ensemble
contemporary music, athens

The cycle "Nouvelles Aventures" will take us to Southeastern Europe in the 2022/23 season.

In the opening concert, the Athens based Ergon Ensemble will make its debut at the Konzerthaus with a "Balkan Project", which is currently dedicated to internationally successful female composers from Croatia, Serbia, Greece, Romania, Bulgaria and Turkey.

What these women, aged 31 to 54, have in common is their close connection to Austria and Germany: today they live in Vienna, Berlin and Cologne, respectively, only Diana Rotaru, who was artist-in-residence in Vienna in 2015, is now working again in Bucharest as a leading figure of contemporary music in Romania.

Thus, "The Balkan Project" reflects nothing other than the reality that the culture of Central Europe is inconceivable without its Southeastern European components.
