The catinblack ensemble cordially invites you to the first edition of its new concert series at Szene 10 in Essen! This series combines different musical worlds with new encounters, old stories and fresh perspectives. Each concert opens up a space for discovery - of music, style and history as well as of people. Our aim is to bring music closer in all its facets and to strengthen the cultural diversity of North Rhine-Westphalia. The performance of contemporary compositions shows: Music is not a static art form. It thrives on change, curiosity and the desire to find new forms of expression. The promotion of young, innovative ideas and the combination of different forms of artistic expression inspire us to create an exciting, diverse and emotionally moving future. In the first edition, you can expect a colorful program characterized by friendship, theater,
innovation and musical disguise.

At the end of the concert series, the catinblack ensemble opens up the space for fresh impulses: young composers present works that have been created especially for this ensemble - drafts of an upcoming musical language that have become sound. In our Symphonic Pocket, ideas condense into form, curiosity and sound. The symphonic potential of a low string trio is explored. Individual compositional styles meet here, search for resonance and set the ensemble in new motion. The result is not a conclusion, but an outlook: an audible statement for a lively, open future of music.
