›Natürlich – Neue Musik Nacht 2025‹

On 30 April, 2025, the Frankfurt Academy of Music and Performing Arts (HfMDK) hosts its ›Neue Musik Nacht 2025‹, a Night of New Music featuring concerts, performances, installations, interactive formats and dance, all dedicated to the theme of ›Art and Nature‹. This involves examining our contemporary understanding of nature in the arts, but also our »second nature«, the environment that surrounds us. The IEMA-Ensemble 2024/25 plays ›Atlas Eclipticalis‹ – an astronomic atlas transposed into music by John Cage and into a concert installation by Hermann Kretzschmar, as well as a work by Liza Lim, holder of an endowed visiting professorship. In addition to the IEMA-Ensemble, performers include the new music ensemble of the HfMDK, its chamber chorus, dance department, composition department and members of the department of historic performance practice.
