A Performance by MAM.manufaktur für aktuelle musik
On October 16, 1912, “Pierrot Lunaire” by Arnold Schönberg - a cycle of poems performed by a soprano and an instrumental ensemble, was premiered at the Berlin Choralion-Saal. This melodrama consists of 21 selected poems from Otto Erich Hartleben’s German translation of Albert Giraud’s cycle of 50 French poems of the same name. It has been one of Schönberg’s most controversial works, as it marked his first step in exploration of atonality and especially for the first time in use of Sprechstimme.

About MAM.manufaktur für aktuelle musik
MAM.manufaktur für aktuelle musik was founded by International Ensemble Modern Academy scholarship holders in 2010, in response to a common passion for new forms of expression and performance in the music of today. The musicians see themselves as a liberal and internationally positioned collective, one that extends the idea of an ensemble through interdisciplinary engagement, bringing to life new sounds and sound concepts. MAM works with composers such as Mark Andre, Georges Aperghis, Hans-Joachim Hespos, Robin Hoffmann, Neele Hülcker, Jagoda Szmytka and Simon Steen-Andersen, and maintains a performance schedule at festivals such as Eclat in Stuttgart, the Darmstadt International Summer Course for New Music, AchtBrücken Festival and New Talents Biennale in Cologne, Mixtur Festival in Barcelona, Klangwerkstatt Berlin, pgnm Festival Bremen, klub katarakt festival Hamburg, Schönes Wochenende at Tonhalle Düsseldorf and ZKM Karlsruhe. In 2012 the MAM musicians recorded Mauricio Kagel’s Exotica for DVD (Ensemble Modern Media) and in 2015, a CD of new works by Ying Wang for Wergo. In addition to the cultivation of contemporary repertoire, the musicians are committed to the upkeep and extension of alternative and/or experimental playing techniques at the nexus of performance, improvisation and the interpretation of composed music. MAM is a place of experimentation, boundary crossing and improbable confluences.
