Ensemble Extrakte had an exciting period of research. Knowing each other since many projects and 9 years, we discovered new ways of expressions. The research was guided in a very wise way by Peter Wiegold and made possible by the ensemble grant of Musikfonds.

With [SNDNG STTNS] we started three weeks ago to work on our new piece Merge / Buzzing Bridge, with an amazing team formed by Katharina Mewes, Eric Onekey, Josue Mugisha, Michael Thieke, Sofia Borges, Chris Umney, TO SU, Anja Ruschival and more. We will premiere on may 26th in P1, Kampnagel, Hamburg
