Musik 21 im NDR is a series of four concerts in the small broadcasting hall. Well-known ensembles for contemporary music deal with sounds of the present from different perspectives.

Beyond the words, the music perhaps says the unspeakable, the flowing enchantment that doesn't avoid clichés and irony, it returns like memory, it doesn't leave us. It blends into the language and you can feel its constant presence in slow and fast undulations.
Olga Neuwirth, composer
Can songs turn people against something and lull them to sleep at the same time? With the program "Stir up!?" the ensemble Megaphon boldly oscillates between different times and themes. It moves between classical and contemporary works at the extremes between tonality and noise, sometimes tilting into the bizarre and surreal. At the concert in the small broadcasting hall of the NDR, the ensemble combines selected songs by Franz Schubert with chamber music works by Olga Neuwirth, Charlotte Seither, Tatjana Prelevic, Vincent Bouchot and Moritz Eggert.

About the ensemble
The Ensemble Megaphon was founded in 2007 by the Czech violinist Lenka Župková and the French dancer and choreographer Mikael Honesseau. It is a collective of international artists of different art forms and styles. The creative focus of the ensemble is both on the interfaces between contemporary music and media, music theater, conceptual improvisation and live electronics as well as in the juxtaposition of avant-garde with early music. The artists of the Ensemble Megaphon are specialists for spatial staging and site-specific performances as well as for concerts at non-places in unusual spaces.

Focus and Commitment
The musicians of the ensemble develop and realize new performance formats with passion and a love of experimentation. In them they combine video art, sound art, dance and acting. The projects are thematically political and socially oriented. An important concern of the Ensemble Megaphon is the cooperation with professional artists from Syria, Armenia, Iran and Turkey. Under the direction of music theater educators, the ensemble regularly implements educational projects and educational-artistic activities. More than 40 works have been written for the ensemble, which it has also premiered.

Über das Ensemble
Das Ensemble Megaphon wurde im Jahr 2007 von der tschechischen Geigerin Lenka Župková und dem französischen Tänzer und Choreographen Mikael Honesseau gegründet. Es ist ein Kollektiv internationaler Künstler*innen verschiedener Kunstarten und Stile. Der schöpferische Schwerpunkt des Ensembles liegt sowohl an den Schnittstellen zwischen zeitgenössischer Musik und Medien, Musiktheater, konzeptueller Improvisation und Live-Elektronik als auch in der Gegenüberstellung von Avantgarde mit Alter Musik. Die Künstler*innen des Ensemble Megaphon sind Spezialist*innen für Rauminszenierungen und ortsbezogene Performances sowie auch für Konzerte an Un-Orten in außergewöhnlichen Räumen.

Schwerpunkte und Engagement
Mit Leidenschaft und Experimentierfreude entwickeln und realisieren die Musiker*innen des Ensembles neue Aufführungsformate. In denen verknüpfen sie Video-, Klangkunst, Tanz und Schauspiel. Die Projekte sind thematisch politisch und gesellschaftlich orientiert. Ein wichtiges Anliegen ist dem Ensemble Megaphon die Zusammenarbeit mit professionellen Künstler*innen aus Syrien, Armenien, Iran und der Türkei. Unter der Leitung von Musiktheater-Pädagog*innen realisiert das Ensemble regelmäßig Vermittlungsprojekte und pädagogisch-künstlerische Aktionen. Mehr als 40 Werke wurden für das Ensemble geschrieben, die es auch uraufgeführt hat.
