Tage der Neuen Musik – Max Brand Ensemble (A)
The MAX BRAND Ensemble under the direction of Richard Graf is characterized by its artistic experimentation and interdisciplinary approach, which fuses new music, jazz, alternative music styles and ethnic sounds. Under the title "Zeitenwende", the ensemble presents a program that musically explores current developments and challenges, transcending the boundaries of traditional music-making and incorporating the use of artificial intelligence.
I am delighted to present our latest program, which focuses on both established and emerging composers. At a time when climate change, artificial intelligence and conflicts are shaping our world, I see it as our task to reflect and comment on these issues through our music and to provide cultural and creative impulses with the MAX BRAND Ensemble. (Richard Graf)
