Ensemble on a grand scale! Under the direction of Rebecca Lenton, amateurs and professionals come together to form a unique large ensemble: The Berlin amateur ensemble KNM campus ensemble has invited guests from the UK and the Netherlands to join them in forming the CoMA Allcomers Orchestra. Members of the Tutti Quanti Orchestra of the Fanny Hensel Music School also participate, supported by the professionals of Ensemble KNM Berlin. The program centers on a new commissioned work by Petros Ovsepyan for amateur ensemble. In addition,there will be further world premieres of the prize-winning pieces from the composition competition Composing for and by all 2025, as well as a collective composition by the KNM campus ensemble. The KNM Campus Days embody a participatory understanding of music that has shaped Klangwerkstatt Berlin since its inception under Peter Ablinger. Two of his compositions will be performed in memory of the composer, who passed away in April this year.
The professional ensemble KNM Berlin founded the KNM campus ensemble fourteen years ago as an educational and outreach branch. Within it, adult amateur musicians rehearse and create works of contemporary music under the professional direction of flutist Rebecca Lenton, together with other members of Ensemble KNM Berlin. Such an ensemble is unique in Germany. CoMA (Contemporary Music for All) is an international network for amateur ensembles of contemporary music and unites more than 20 ensembles across Europe. As part of the KNM Campus Days 25, Klangwerkstatt Berlin and the KNM campus ensemble, together with the professionals of Ensemble KNM Berlin, invite to a CoMA Allcomers Orchestra in Berlin for the fifth time since 2016.
The KNM Campus Days 2025 within Klangwerkstatt Berlin 2025 are a project by the KNM campus ensemble in cooperation with Neue Musik für Alle e.V., Ensemble KNM Berlin, CoMA (Contemporary Music for All) and the Fanny Hensel Music School. They are funded by the Landesmusikrat e.V. on behalf of the State of Berlin.
