The Forum neuerMusik at Deutschlandfunk has been engaged in a cooperation with Cologne Academy of Music and Dance since 2009. At the center of focus is the formation of students called ensemble 20/21, led by Professor David Smeyers. Each year the ensemble participates at a special theme concert orientated on the issues of the festival. Frequently composition commissions were granted, often to students and graduates of the Cologne composition classes. But new works by long-established composers where also premiered at these concerts. This double-CD provides a representative selection of the world premieres since 2009 -- an impressive document of a pedagogical cooperation with the Academy which has attained great significance for Deutschland-funk. Features works composed by Niklas Seidl, Myunghoon Park, Lisa Streich, Georg Katzer, Julián Quintero Silva, Hirofumi Matsuzawa, Atli Ingólfsson, Daniel Cueto, Younghi Pagh-Paan, Samir Odeh-Tamimi, and Damian Scholl.
