Ensemble 20/21 - Back To The Future - 10 Years Of Ensemble 20/21 & David Smey

The Forum neuer Musik at Deutschlandfunk has been engaged in a cooperation with Cologne Accademy of Music and Dance since 2009. At the centre of focus is the formation of students called ensemble 20/21, led by Prof. David Smeyers.

Each year the ensemble participates at a special theme concert orientated on the issues of the festival. Frequently composition commissions were granted, often to students and graduates of the Cologne composition classes. But new works by long-established composers where also premiered at these concerts.

This double-CD provides a representative selection of the world premieres since 2009 � an impressive document of a pedagogical cooperation with the Academy which has attained great significance for Deutschlandfunk.
