Munich Composer Collective

In the organizer's words:

Musical diversity is a given in the Munich Composers Collective because all members can look back on very different backgrounds and express themselves in their compositions. However, it is not only diverse influences and musical preferences that make this large formation, founded in 2014 by violinist Gregor Huebner, so appealing, as it dispenses with hierarchies. It is the instrumentation, the combination of instruments, that allows the 18-piece ensemble to set off for new shores.

In addition to woodwind and brass instruments and the rhythm section, the ensemble also includes a string quartet - a constellation that allows the Munich Composers Collective to play with completely different textures and sounds than a classic big band.

This troupe of local sound creators uses elements of jazz, contemporary classical music, improvised music and independent rock, consists of teachers from the Jazz Institute and the university's classical music department and has been Ensemble in Residence at Werksviertel-Mitte Kunst since 2023.
