How does musical communication arise? How do voices interact; how do they engage in dialogue, contradict one another, intertwine, and form ever-changing constellations? The Ensemble Modern’s concert, featuring works by composer Christian Ridil, will explore these questions on November 26, 2026, at 7:00 p.m. at Goethe University Frankfurt.
The program offers a multifaceted insight into different creative phases of the composer’s career. The program includes *Kommunikationen* for woodwind quartet (1979), the *Cadenza senza Concerto* for solo viola (2003/04), the septet *Lachen und Weinen zu jeglicher Stunde* (1980/85), the trio *Tres non semper faciunt collegium musicum* (2001), and … ad aspra … (1997).
The musicians of the Ensemble Modern bring Ridil’s multifaceted soundscapes to life with their characteristic precision, openness, and expressiveness. The concert-talk, moderated by Christian Hommel, also offers an opportunity to get to know the composer and his music up close.
Admission is free.
The album Christian Ridil – Chamber Music Vol. 3 was released in September 2026 and is available in stores as well as on all major streaming and download platforms.
