The Flex Ensemble’s dedication to the major piano quartet literature is complemented by their wish to enrich artists and audiences alike by commissioning new works. Their programs include world premieres by Márton Illés, Gordon Kampe, Gérard Pesson, Johannes Schöllhorn, Gordon Williamson, Paweł Mykietyn and Snezana Nesic. They collaborate with a wide range of distinguished artists such as Leonid Gorokhov, Mark Gothoni, Guillermo Anzorena, Daniel Rowland, Oliver Wille, Albrecht Mayer and Mateusz Smoczynski  

With “imPULS”, the innovative concert series the Flex Ensemble founded back in 2016, they present interdisciplinary productions such as IN/SOMNIA in collaboration with Post Theater Berlin, FARFAROUT with farout artistic research (Pamplona), choreographer Emilia Benitez and dancer Pedro Hurtado, or Circular Music with video artist Yoann Trellu.

In 2022 they developed a mobile concert stage, the reFLEX, together with acoustic specialists and technicians, to realize their wish of presenting acoustically pleasing outdoor concerts without amplification.  

2014-2021  they served as artistic directors of Chamber Music Fest Rheinhessen.

Flex is committed to enriching the audience’s experience through creative concert presentations and programs that draw listeners deeper into the music. Outreach programs in schools and original music theatre programs for young audiences such as “Märchen Reloaded” or “Hörst du das?” also feature prominently in their work developing new audiences for concert music.

 Winners of the Gianni Bergamo Classic Music Award 2015 in Lugano, the four musicians of the Flex Ensemble have quickly established themselves as one of the most vibrant ensembles of their generation. Within a year of their formation, the Flex Ensemble was awarded 1st prize at the International Schumann Chamber Music Award in Frankfurt in 2013, where they also received a special prize for their interpretation of the Schumann piano quartet. They are the recipient of awards and prizes at the Kiejstut Bacewicz International Chamber Music Competition in Lodz/Poland, the Premio Trio di Trieste/Italy, and the Solti Foundation in England.
