Four composers enrolled in the young artist development programme ›young_professionals‹ will be represented with their world premieres on the theme SCHWÄRMEN as well as a selection of their existing works. They will be accompanied by the Swiss composer Michael Jarrell and the Australian-British conductor Toby Thatcher, who are joined by the members of Ensemble Modern to support the young artists as they develop their compositions. The young composers thus have an opportunity to familiarize themselves with the working habits of an ensemble that is active on the international scene, to expand their own artistic competencies, and to practice dealing with professional Instrumentalists. ›cresc… 2026‹ presents the results of this prestigious young artist programme, offering the artist’s works a platform.
