The ensemble recherche is one of the most distinguished ensembles for new music. With more than 450 premieres to its credit since it was founded in 1985, the ensemble has made a substantial contribution to the development of contemporary chamber and ensemble music.
Consisting of nine soloists, the ensemble has its very own dramaturgical profile and ranks highly on the international music scene. Apart from its many concert activities, the ensemble recherche also takes part in musical theater projects, does productions for radio and film, gives courses for instrumentalists and composers and lets young talents watch its rehearsals.
The repertoire of the ensemble begins with the classics of the late nineteenth century, taking in the French impressionists, the Second Viennese School and the expressionists and on to the Darmstadt School, French spectralism and today’s avant-garde experiments. A further interest of the ensemble recherche is the contemporary view of music prior to 1700. Over 50 CDs are proof of the vast scope of its repertoire.
Together with the Freiburger Barockorchester, the ensemble recherche organises the annual Ensemble Akademie Freiburg, a forum for training professional musicians in ensemble playing in early and contemporary music and for encounters between both areas of music. The musicians of the ensemble recherche give courses at music academies and teach at the prestigious International Summer Courses for New Music in Darmstadt. The ensemble recherche has a self-governing organizational form. In its home town, Freiburg im Breisgau, it has its own concert series..
