‘Dance can be experienced everywhere! And whatever the occasion, where there is dance there is usually music in some form or other. Music can of course range from the simplest folksong to the mathematical complexity of a Bach fugue. Polarities in general however don’t necessarily demand the exclusion of one extreme for the other, but can be combined to complement each other in a balanced work of art.’
Ensemble Prisma was formed in 1996 from members of the Young German Philharmonic Orchestra. Only a year later, they reached the finales of the German Music Council Competition.
In 2002 Ensemble Prisma debuted at the Würzburg Mozart Festival, the Rheingau Music Festival, and the Schleswig-Holstein Music Festival. Concerts at the Music Festival of Lower Saxony, in Koblenz and in Castle Elmau followed in 2003.
