ON – New Music Cologne e.V.: Key Works

Over thirty partners are involved in the Cologne-based network "ON - New Music Cologne e.V." - one of the projects in the New Music Network, funded by the Federal Cultural Foundation.

In December 2008, the Cologne network presented a concert series titled Key Works featuring compositions which significantly influenced the musical development of the 20th century. At the two-day concert series, the MusikFabrik performed works by Edgar Varèse, Olivier Messiaen, Iannis Xenakis and John Cage, as well as the three great composers from Cologne, Karlheinz Stockhausen, Mauricio Kagel and Bernd Alois Zimmermann. The series was accompanied by a pedagogical supporting programme, readings, concert introductions and film screenings.

Schedule and venue:
5-6 December 2008 Key Works, concert series at the Mediapark 7, Cologne
