| Biography | Founded in 1993, the Collegium Novum Zürich (CNZ) has become an indispensable part of the Swiss cultural scene. Driven by a curiosity for contemporary music, the ensemble has never lost its standing over the decades. It brings contemporary musical creations to a broad audience. The main focus of the 25-member ensemble has always been on creation, musical exchange and collaboration with composers. The ensemble premieres large ensemble works as well as cross-disciplinary productions. Its productions range from classical concerts and music theatre to improvisation and performance. The CNZ, whose members are leading musicians of the Swiss music scene, plays contemporary music alongside classics and masterpieces from the 20th and 21st century, placing them in a new context. The high level of virtuosity of this soloists' ensemble allows for a varied concert programme in flexible formations, including not only concerts with conductors but also chamber music concerts in various formations as well as solo performances by the musicians. The CNZ cultivates various educational formats and works in close collaboration with the Zurich University of the Arts. The CNZ is not only constantly on the lookout for new sounds, but also performs at various unusual concert venues in the Zurich area. With its CD productions, it has also gained an excellent reputation on the international market.
