Modern performance as a music genre is characterized by its exploration of contemporary classical compositions, avant-garde techniques, and innovative interpretations. It thrives at the intersection of classical tradition and cutting-edge experimentation, often incorporating electronic elements, extended instrumental techniques, and an eclectic range of influences from world music to minimalism. Ensembles and artists within this sphere, such as the Talea Ensemble and Eighth Blackbird, are known for their virtuosic precision and commitment to the new and the unconventional. They collaborate with living composers, creating a dynamic, living repertoire that challenges and expands the boundaries of classical music, making it more accessible and relevant to today's audiences. Performances are frequently interdisciplinary, combining music with elements of theater, dance, and visual art to create immersive experiences.
