'KammarensembleN' was founded in 1984 by the conductor Ansgar Krook (1962-92). Its members are section leaders in Swedish orchestras, as well as soloists and eminent chamber musicians. The ensemble's repertoire focuses on contemporary music, in particular by Scandinavian composers. It covers the whole spectrum of chamber music, from solo pieces to works for sinfonietta. KammarensembleN has been a source of inspiration to many composers, which has resulted in over sixty premieres.
Considerable efforts have been made to bring out young Swedish music, at the same time as international composers have been introduced to Sweden.
The ensemble has worked together with leading conductors, lighting technicians and video artists, such as Etienne Glaser, Åsa Kalmér and Ann-Sofi Sidén, in concert series like 'Tredje Örat' (1990-91), 'Virtuoser' (1992), 'Tioårsjubilèet' (1994) and 'Rum i rummet' (1997). This has created a unique atmosphere that has met with a strong response from audiences and the press.
'KammarensembleN' has also participated in numerous festivals of new music including 'Musikhost' in Odense (1990), 'Sonorities' in Belfast (1991), Stockholm New Music (1993 and 1996), 'Ultima' in Oslo (1993), 'Gaudeamus' in Amsterdam (1994), iscm World Music Days in Stockholm (1994), Composers' Biennale in Copenhagen (1996), the Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival (1997) and 'Time of Music' in Viitasaari (1998).
