Asko|Schönberg: leading ensemble for new music. Quality, experimentation and innovative programming with an eye for topicality are the most important pillars. With a rich network of musicians, conductors, composers, versatile young makers and partners from various art disciplines, A|S wants to contribute to 'making now'. The ensemble functions as an accessible platform that, together with innovative and energetic partners, builds on the continuous development of contemporary composed music in all its different forms. The ensemble operates all over the world from its Amsterdam home base. Both the top collection of the great 20th-century composers and the very latest 21st-century work are performed on concert stages, festivals and in interdisciplinary performances.
