 nded in 1999 by six musicians from Cologne and the Ruhr in western Germany
  and has grown to be become one of the most exciting and independent voice
 s in the new music scene in the greater Rhine-Ruhr metropolitan region\, o
 ne of the most densely populated and dynamic regions in Europe. Diverse cu
 ltural influences from around the world come together here serving as a we
 llspring for new musical ideas. E-MEX champions this diversity and embrace
 s these influences as a defining force shaping the music of our time.\n\nW
 ith projects ranging from large ensemble works to solo pieces\, the ensemb
 le’s core group of ten musicians has been the unifying factor that has o
 ver the years helped shape the ensemble’s distinctive personality and so
 und. E-MEX’s profile as an ensemble is intimately link to their encounte
 rs with other art forms taking their inspiration from a broad interdiscipl
 inary perspective\, and the ensemble has been a tireless advocate of this 
 multidisciplinary approach by actively developing new concert forms that i
 ntegrate visual arts\, theater\, literature and performance art.\n\nIn its
  quest to bring this perspective to a broader public\, E-MEX is always loo
 king to bring new music into novel spaces that help audiences break out of
  the familiar concert routine. In museums\, galleries\, churches and other
  settings where new listeners can be or young people can be to engage with
  new music early on\, E-MEX has shown how rethinking the performance situa
 tion can really resonate with audiences.\n\nMany contemporary composers ch
 erish the close working relationship they have developed with E-MEX and th
 e possibilities that such an intense collaboration opens up. The ensemble 
 is regularly entrusted with the premieres of works by emerging and establi
 shed composers\, such as Cort Lippe\, Henry Fourès\, Guoping Jia\, Xiaoyo
 ng Chen and Karin Haußmann. E-MEX is also committed to collaborations wit
 h the next generation of young composers\, including projects with Bryan C
 hristian and Kyle Bartlett.\n\nOver the years the ensemble’s repertoire 
 has grown to encompass more than 400 works running the gamut from small ch
 amber formations to large ensembles. In addition to the large number of ne
 wly commissioned works that E-MEX has premiered\, their repertoire include
 s a wide selection of modern classics such as works by Elliot Carter\, Ian
 nis Xenakis\, Franco Donatoni\, Gérard Grisey\, Toshio Hosokawa\, Salvato
 re Sciarrino or Helmut Lachenmann.\n\nConcert tours and workshops have tak
 en E-MEX throughout Europe\, to North and South America as well as to Asia
 \, especially several tours to China in recent years. Most recently E-MEX 
 was invited to the Beijing Central Conservatory of Music to participate in
  the Beijing International Composition Workshop and other programs for stu
 dents\, composition faculty\, musicologists and artist from across China.\
 n\nThe ensemble’s wide ranging artistic output arising out of its intern
 ational partnerships has been documented in regular live-recordings produc
 ed and broadcast by public radio networks in Germany and a number of CD pr
 oductions.\n\nFollow us on Facebook \nMusic: vimeo
