Neue Vocalsolisten

The seven vocal personalities–from coloratura soprano to countertenor to deep bass–are constantly exploring new forms of vocal expression through collaboration with artists from the fields of composition, poetry, video, conceptual art, and theater. They increasingly work with artists who harness the possibilities of digital media, driven by a desire for connectivity, the playful crossing of genres, and the dissolution of boundaries in space, perspective, and function. The ensemble’s work focuses on vocal chamber music theatre: hundreds of works have been composed specifically for the singers.

Their engagement with a wide range of musical cultures is equally central. With curiosity, empathy, and virtuosity, the singers lend their voices to diverse artistic positions, emphasizing cultural richness and diversity. Alongside their international guest performances, they regularly offer masterclasses in voice and vocal composition.

They see it as a vital mission to encourage and support fellow artists, providing them with the space they need to express their creative ideas and aspirations.

In recognition of their distinctive work, the Neue Vocalsolisten were awarded the Silver Lion at the 2021 Venice Biennale and the Italian Critics’ Prize Premio Abbiati in 2022.
