The ensemble eeek is a contemporary music ensemble dedicated to collaborative projects at a high artistic level based in Basel, Switzerland. After years of playing together in the context of the specialized Master's program in Contemporary Music Performance at the Hochschule für Musik Basel FHNW, the ensemble wants to take a further step towards professionalization and establish itself as a pioneering and committed group. Its music is an authentic and reflective expression of the present, reflecting the interests and concerns of its members.

​

The members of the ensemble have honed their skills as chamber musicians and soloists under the guidance of mentors such as Marcus Weiss, Sarah Maria Sun, Yaron Deutsch, Uli Fussenegger, Jürg Henneberger, and Mike Svoboda, and have extensive experience in both academic and professional settings.

​

In the ensemble eeek, music becomes a platform for exploration and collaboration. Eschewing a conductor whenever possible, the ensemble relies on communication and affinity among its members to bring vibrant and emotional interpretations to life. In addition, the constant pursuit of artistic excellence is eventually reinforced by the inclusion of renowned coaches who work and guide the musicians in the preparation of their projects. Additionally, the projects of the ensemble are curated collaboratively. Each project is curated by two members of the ensemble together with the artistic management, ensuring a diverse range of perspectives and artistic approaches in the selection and development of repertoire and concepts. This collaborative curation process fosters a dynamic and inclusive environment within the ensemble, where creative ideas are exchanged, refined, and brought to fruition collectively.

​

The ensemble eeek is also distinguished by its focus on interpreting the most current music, establishing direct collaborations with contemporary composers who write works specifically for the ensemble with the inclusion of works from the most recent repertoire. This direct relationship with the creators of contemporary music not only enriches the ensemble's repertoire, but also allows for a more authentic and profound interpretation, reflecting the ensemble's commitment to musical innovation and its dedication to giving voice to the latest trends and expressions in contemporary music. The ensemble eeek is open to interdisciplinary exploration and seeks synergies with other art forms to enrich its artistic expression.
