UpToThree – ensemble mosaik feat. Kyiv Contemporary Music Days at Acker Stadt Palast / 10+11.6.2023

In UP TO THREE ensemble mosaik presents a festival of small formations: the musicians of mosaik and selected guests perform solos, duos, and trios on the stage of Acker Stadt Palast in Berlin Mitte. In addition to compositions, the mini-festival presents studies and experiments from the workshops of the participating musicians and composers.

The title andernorts (elsewhere), looks back at last year’s festival motto and expands it to include an examination of other places and cultures, including a focus on contemplation of nature. Intercultural concepts will be deepened and further developed in new collaborations.

The UpToThree Festival 2023 takes place in cooperation with the Kyiv Contemporary Music Days. This educational and concert platform for new music presents a series of events in Berlin in June and July 2023 with a special focus on introducing the Ukrainian new music scene and its composers and performing traditions in their interlinkages with Western European music practices.

Musicians from Ukraine and ensemble mosaik will present seven compositions by Ukrainian composers as part of the UpToThree.
