Composers Collective Cologne | Amsterdam Edition

In the organizer's words:

20:00 I Concert I 🎤 Concert hall

The Cologne scene for improvised and contemporary music unites enormous creative potential. Its protagonists are characterized in particular by their innovative strength and cooperative working methods. This is the foundation on which the Composers Collective Cologne is built: an ensemble with a variable line-up that crosses musical and spatial boundaries and offers aspiring individual voices a common forum for new compositions and detailed sound research. The organizers of the first two editions of the 2024 project, initiated with the support of Stadtgarten Köln, Felix Hauptmann, Fabian Dudek and Esther Weickel, are interested in an outstanding ensemble that is able to break new ground - collectively, flexibly and visionarily.

While the first edition focused on the Cologne scene, the second - entitled Amsterdam Edition - is specifically dedicated to networking with musicians from the Dutch scene. The exchange creates a field of tension that sets new impulses in an open and risk-taking manner.

The Amsterdam Edition will be presented in two concerts: at Stadtgarten Cologne and at BIMHUIS Amsterdam.
