Ensemble Adapter

Ensemble Adapter is a quintet for New Music consisting of Kristjana Helgadóttir (flute), Ingólfur Vilhjálmsson (clarinet), Gunnhildur Einarsdóttir (harp), Marc Tritschler (piano) and Matthias Engler (percussion). The five instrumentalists from Iceland and Germany are based in Berlin. In international concerts and in the studio Adapter plays music by composers of the meantime and the recent past. In co-operations the ensemble acts as a producing or co-producing unit, testing chances and limits of trans-medial approaches in different kinds of settings. In workshops the group transfers knowledge of how to write, study and perform contemporary music to composers, instrumentalist and creative people worldwide.
Adapter stays in touch with the latest developments in the differing scenes of contemporary creation, maintaining a progressive, authentic and powerful style.
