Established in 2007, the Basel-based ensemble Polysono is committed to contemporary music, which it explores and performs with great dedication, placing a particular focus on current Swiss composers.
To mark its 20th anniversary, the ensemble is presenting works by Croatian composer Sara Glojnaric (born 1991) and the Armenian Hovik Sardaryan (born 1993) – both recipients of the Ernst von Siemens Music Foundation’s Composers’ Prize – as well as four world premieres of works by René Wohlhauser, which take the audience into new realms of time and sound.
