Known for their musically refined and highly energetic performances, the Flex Ensemble has been thrilling audiences over ten years with programs ranging from classical and romantic piano quartet repertoire to modern presentations featuring works they commissioned from some of today’s preeminent composers such as Márton Illés, Johannes Schöllhorn, Gérard Pesson, Gordon Williamson or Pawel Mykietyn.
Interdisciplinary collaborations with dance, theatre and the visual arts presented in combination with contemporary music repertoire by Hartke, Pärt, Frey or Nesic have featured prominently in their works in recent years. Flex founded the annual Chamber Music Fest Rheinhessen in 2014 that also hosts a commissioning competition, as well as the imPULS concert series in Hannover in 2016, and they continue to serve as artistic directors for both.
The Flex Ensemble has appeared at venues such as the Concertgebouw Amsterdam, the Alte Oper Frankfurt, the Beijing Performing Arts Center and Festivals such as the Sommerliche Musiktage Hitzacker and the Heidelberger Frühling. Their performances have been broadcast live on German Radio (SWR and NDR Kultur) and Dutch Radio (Radio 4). In 2014 their Debut CD 'The Arrival of Night' was released from GENUIN Classics. Their albums “Au Suivant” (2019) and “Inside Eroica” (2020) were released from AVI in cooperation with Deutschlandfunk Kultur.
