Musical highlights of the first evening of the event will be interpreted and performed live by the Asasello Quartet and the Ensemble Reflexion K under the direction of Gerald Eckert.

An overview and the detailed programs for the Forum of New Music 2025 and itsevent evenings on 27.9.2025 and 4.10.2025 in the Deutschlandfunk Chamber Music Hall can be found here. Free admission, free registration is requested.

For the anniversary edition, artists are looking for answers to these questions:

What can new music do against war and inhumanity, against growing insecurity and the simplification of complex historical truth? This year, musicians from the countries around the Baltic Sea will once again try to position themselves on these fundamental questions of the Forum of New Music - and provide artistic orientation.
