They have a special focus on microtonal works, and have been praised for their “extraordinary sense of pitch” by the New York Times. They are the recipients of the Ernst von Siemens Music Foundation’s 2023 Ensemble Prize, the first American group to receive the honor.

A concert by the vocal ensemble Ekmeles. Admission is free and open to the public.

Ekmeles Residency // Stockhausen, Stimmung Concert

This will be the first recreation of Carlo Gesualdo's notorious music in competing authentic tunings of his time. Aside from Nicola Vicentino's complicated arcicembalo, other written testimonies by Gesualdo's musicians implicate that he composed according to a common lute’s meantone temperament. Audiences may hear that the prince went out of tune to express himself after killing his wife and her lover.
