VENI ensemble [profile of ensemble] (SK)

VENI ensemble was founded in 1987 by several enthusiasts, students of composition and performers from the Academy of Music and Drama in Bratislava who shared a common desire to express their own opinion through corresponding music. VENI ensemble is an open group of musicians. The core of the ensemble is made of several permanent members who invite others to collaborate in specific projects. The group’s main activities are concert appearances at national and international festivals of contemporary music (Exposition of New Music, Brno; Kulturspektakel, Vienna; Contemporary Music Marathon, Prague; Melos-Ethos, Bratislava; Quaderni Perugini di Musica Contemporanea, Perugia; New Music Studio, Prague; The New Music Week, Bucharest; Evenings of New Music, Bratislava; Wetterfest, Vienna, etc.). In addition, the group sporadically records for broadcasting companies at home and abroad (Slovak Television, Slovak Radio, Hessischer Rundfunk). In 1990, VENI ensemble recorded an LP for Globus International Prague, and in 1992, the Music Fund, Slovak Radio and Pavian Records co-produced the CD VENI ensemble with financial support from the state culture fund PRO SLOVAKIA. In 1995, VENI ensemble recorded for MUSICA the CD Between with music by Daniel Matej. Currently, it is finishing work on the CD Bratislava with pieces commissioned from Richard Ayres, Tomáš Boroš, Allison Cameron, Daniel Matej, and Christian Wolff. VENI ensemble’s repertory is based on works by composers working with and around the group, by young composers from abroad, whose music is closely related, and by 20th-century composers who served as father figures for members of the group (especially Erik Satie, Charles Ives, John Cage, Morton Feldman, Terry Riley).
