In this program, Ensemble Modern presents the great ensemble pieces by US composer Ruth Crawford Seeger, which exude the joy of experimentation and the courage to explore the untrodden paths of the 1920s. The other works in the portrait concert also cast a spotlight on the present and show where Seeger's ideas continue to have a direct or indirect impact: with "country radio" by the young US composer Katherine Balch and Tania León's "Ritmicas" from 2019.
