LUX:NM is an ensemble for contemporary music that has gained international reputation for its authentic and energetic interpretations of new music. The ensemble was founded in 2010 by several soloists with the aim of creating self-determined and versatile chamber music programmes with a tonally flexible line-up. LUX:NM initiates and develops new concepts in contemporary music. The members of the ensemble compose, improvise, interpret and curate, they develop their own dramaturgical concepts and scenic ideas. In addition to performing existing compositions, the ensemble's musicians are particularly committed to initiating new works and formats and incorporating them into their repertoire. They have won awards at international competitions and are regular guests on important concert stages and at new music festivals. In 2017, the album LUXUS was recognised by the German Record Critics' Award on the best list. The second ensemble album STRANDGUT was released in November 2018. The ensemble was nominated for the German Record Critics' Award and the International Classical Music Award (ICMA) 2020. In 2021, the album for the successful production DARK LUX was released in the radio play version in collaboration with DLF Cologne.
