Ensemble für Neue Musik Zürich

Ensemble für Neue Musik Zürich is a Swiss contemporary music group that brings fresh sonic adventures to audiences with their focus on 20th and 21st-century works. Based in Zurich, this ensemble thrives on collaboration, regularly spotlighting composers like Noriko Hisada (featuring her quirky-titled pieces *Led by the Yellow Bricks* and *Prognostication*) and Swiss creator Dieter Ammann (*The Freedom of Speech*). They’ve got range—whether reviving classics like Charles Ives’ *A Songbook*, diving into George Crumb’s aquatic-themed *Vox Balaenae*, or amplifying underrepresented voices in their *Women Composers I* release. Their projects often blur lines between storytelling and sound, like the dramatic *The Sin of Jesus* inspired by Isaac Babel’s writings. With a mix of vocal and instrumental experimentation, they’re like a sonic lab where curiosity and precision collide.
