UpToThree 2022 – elsewhere / ensemble mosaik
The workshop festival UpToThree has taken place once a year for five years. It serves as an opportunity to try out and experiment, to develop further with works and ideas for works by the members of the ensemble, but also with guest musicians and composers who are specially invited. The festival focuses on a different theme each year. Under the title "elsewhere", the musicians are currently working on a link between outdoor space, nature and the concert hall; themes of sustainability and globalisation are being artistically explored. In addition, studies for planned ensemble projects are being developed or project ideas of the musicians are being tested. The title UpToThree is the programme: there are a maximum of three musicians of the ensemble plus guests on stage.

Supported by the initiative neue musik berlin
The artistic work of ensemble mosaik builds on the continuity of its musical community, on explorative continuity, networking, collaborations with artists of all disciplines, other ensembles and with event organizers, on intercultural exchange as reflection and inspiration of global artistic concerns. Since its founding in 1997, ensemble mosaik has developed into a renowned ensemble for contemporary music as a particularly versatile and experimental formation. In their 25 years of collaboration, the musicians have created a distinguished ensemble that demonstrates openness to a wide variety of contemporary music concepts at the highest artistic level. Egalitarian working structures form the basis of a processual way of working in exchange with all actors involved in a concert project.
