Description

Ensemble Mini is a courageous collective of supersonic soloists from German symphony orchestras that repackages super symphonic music for new audiences.

Often commissioning world premiere arrangements for innovative late-night projects, its mission is to revolutionise the style, sound and setting of classical concerts. This began in 2010 with “mini-Mahler” at Berlin’s Philharmonie Kammermusiksaal, followed by “Strauss 150: New Perspectives” at STATTBAD Berlin, “From Russia with Soul” at Griessmühle Berlin and “Bartók Beyond Borders” at Musikbrauerei Berlin.

Artist collaborations have included Regula Mühlemann, Marlis Petersen, Ferhan & Ferzan Önder, Gerhild Romberger, Tanja Tetzlaff, Ruth Ziesak and Elisa Carrillo Cabrera. Recent guest performances have included Konzerthaus Berlin (Debussy), Budapest Palace of Arts (Bartók), Auditorio Nacional Madrid, Essener Philharmonie (Mahler), Rheingau Musik Festival (Bruckner), Mozarteum Salzburg (Prokofiev) and Zaryadye Hall Moscow (Shostakovich).

Celebrating its 10th anniversary 2020-21 season as the “ultimate corona orchestra”, Ensemble Mini has been reviewed and featured widely in German media (such as with 3sat Kulturzeit, ZDF Aspekte, rbb Stilbruch and WDR 3) and has also recorded several live concerts for Deutschlandfunk Kultur, RBB Kulturradio, NDR Kultur and SWR Classic, as well as an award-winning debut CD, Mahler’s 9th Symphony (ARS-Produktion). A follow-up recording – Mahler’s 10th Symphony – was released in March 2021 and has already received critical acclaim. It has also been awarded the OPUS Klassik 2021 for best chamber music recording.

Plans for 2021/22 include a return of “Bartók Beyond Borders” on tour, Stravinsky at Musikfest Berlin, Bruckner at the Rheingau Music Festival, Zemlinsky with RIAS Kammerchor, Mahler’s 3rd Symphony at Kasseler Musiktage and the launch of its new club concert series, “Late-Night-Sinfonie”, in Hamburg and Berlin.
