The Decoder Ensemble is one of the most innovative and fearless acts on the international contemporary music scene. With its high-energy sound, it thrills audiences in renowned concert halls as well as in trendy clubs such as Berlin’s Berghain. For several years, Decoder hosted the Elbphilharmonie series »Unterdeck«, during which they organised exciting performance evenings featuring a wide variety of guest artists.
In their latest programme, »New Codes on the Block«, the ensemble offers young composers the opportunity to create new works for the group. In workshops, the pieces are explored and further developed together with the musicians. Four of the resulting compositions are then selected and combined into a dramaturgically conceived concert evening. Once again, Decoder Ensemble lives up to its name by decoding the artistic languages of a new generation through both musical notation and electronic media.
