New and current works by some of today's best-known composers will also be performed: Enno Poppe, Georg-Friedrich Haas, Bernard Lang and Jürg Frey. International ensembles such as the Ensemble Modern and Decoder from Germany, the Nadar Ensemble from Belgium, the Crash Ensemble from Ireland and the Diotima Quartet from France will be performing. The Basel Sinfonietta with the Nik Bärtsch Mobile Trio, the composers Jürg Frey and Oscar Bianchi and the sound artist Cathy van Eck form a Swiss focus. With eight Dutch (Mayke Nas, Saskia Venegas, Brechtje van Dijk, Karmit Fadael, Micha Hamel, Bram Kortekaas, Rob Zuidam, Andys Skordis) and three international (Ann Cleare, Laura Bowler, Enno Poppe) commissions, November Music shows in its 32nd edition how diverse and lively contemporary music is.
