Prizewinners' concert ad libitum 2025

In 2024/2025, ad libitum is cooperating with the Waldkirch Municipal Music School. For the first time, this ninth edition of ad libitum will also feature a major contribution from one of Baden-Württemberg's contemporary music ensembles, namely the Freiburg-based Ensemble Aventure. The seven prizewinners have brilliantly mastered the challenge of creating compositions of a high musical quality and at the same time technical feasibility by student ensembles with freedom to perform in very individual ways and, in close cooperation with the young ensembles of the music school, have created exciting works that will be premiered on this evening:
