NEW ... CONTEMPORARY ... MODERN

How to define some music of our time

Concepts and ideas of music change continuously. So the words in use for nowadays definitions have also to change. "New music", "contemporary music" or the absurd definition of "contemporary classic", all these terms don't mean anymore anything. Is the lack of a concise word symptomatic for the music itself? Or for the status of its irrelevance in contemporary societies?

WORK IN PROGRESS — BERLIN focusses on these questions with its activities in this season.

Surprising sounds will be heard in the city during the next months.
