Ensemble Ascolta live in Mannheim

Experience Ensemble Ascolta live on July 11th

Ensemble Ascolta will perform at Citykirche Konkordien in Mannheim, Germany on July 11, 2026. The ensemble specializes in contemporary classical music, often incorporating extended instrumental techniques and exploring the boundaries of traditional instrumentation. Their repertoire frequently features works by living composers alongside reinterpretations of 20th-century pieces, with a focus on sonic textures and immersive listening experiences. They are known for collaborative projects across disciplines, including visual art and dance.

Citykirche Konkordien holds significance as a historically important Protestant church within Mannheim. Originally constructed between 1907 and 1909 according to plans by German architect Heinrich Jobst, it was heavily damaged during World War II and subsequently rebuilt in a simplified neo-Gothic style between 1958 and 1960. The church’s architecture reflects this post-war reconstruction period, blending original elements with modern adaptations. It is noted for its acoustics which are considered particularly well-suited for choral and instrumental performances. Today, it serves as an active place of worship and a venue for cultural events within the city.
