New Concert Series

In the new concert series ›Wie frei ist die Kunst?‹ (How free is art?), Ensemble Modern addresses the question of the liberty of the arts, and its limitations. Together with experts from various fields, the question how free and independent the arts can be in times of social upheaval and challenges will be examined. What is permitted to the arts? Where are their boundaries? What responsibilities do they have? Through music and conversations, the series approaches the topic from the perspective of presenters, ensembles and composers. The series of events takes place in Frankfurt am Main and Cologne between January and May 2025.
