In the artist's words:

The franz ensemble brings together prizewinners of the ARD Music Competition, professors, artistic directors of renowned festivals, successful soloists and chamber musicians. This community is dedicated to the extensive repertoire of unusual and larger ensembles. With wind, string and keyboard instruments, the franz ensemble can realize an enormous variety of instrumentations in order to give a fresh and new voice to the core repertoire as well as to unfounded treasures of the music literature.
