Ensemble Resonanz Tickets

With its extraordinary joy of playing and artistic quality, the Ensemble Resonanz is one of the leading chamber orchestras worldwide. The musicians' program ideas put old and new music into lively contexts and ensure resonance between the works, the audience and stories that arise around the programs.

The 18-piece string orchestra is democratically organized and works without a permanent conductor, but always brings artistic partners on board. Since summer 2018, the violinist and conductor Riccardo Minasi has been an artist in residence of the ensemble for many years, with whom numerous concert and CD projects have already been realized. The ensemble had previously established close ties with partners such as the violist Tabea Zimmermann, the violinist Isabelle Faust, the cellist Jean-Guihen Queyras and the conductor Emilio Pomàrico. Working with composers and developing a new repertoire are also a driving force behind artistic work.

In Hamburg the Ensemble Resonanz plays with the Elbphilharmonie and the resonanzraum St. Pauli, two special and different venues. The residency at the Elbphilharmonie includes the concert series resonanzen, which is causing a sensation in the 19th season. But the ensemble also plays a key role in shaping the program of the new concert hall with children's concerts and at various festivals and sets the tone for a lively presentation of classical and contemporary music.

The resonanzraum in the bunker on St. Pauli, the first chamber music club in Europe, is the home of Ensemble Resonanz. Here the musicians invite monthly to the concert series urban string, which is designed by the ensemble members and presented in dialogue with the music of international DJ artists. But the anchor offers docked to the concerts, which invite the audience to new spaces of experience relating to the programs, also take place here for the most part: from workshops and listening lessons to the philosophy talks bunker salon to the experimental format offbeat. In 2017, the resonanzraum was voted Hamburg Music Club of the Year for its innovative program, and it has also received various architecture prizes such as the AIT Award and the BDA Audience Award.

Based in Hamburg, the musicians give guest performances at various festivals and at leading concert halls around the world, leaving behind an enthusiastic audience from Vienna to Amsterdam to Tokyo, Hanoi and Bangkok.
