CONTAINER Ensemble (Basel, Switzerland) takes its concerns to the international scene, reflecting in its programmes the latest artistic creation and experimentation in the musical and visual fields.

It was born as a continuation of conDit, an Argentinean musical platform created in 2011. Since then, CONTAINER has been active in different European countries establishing its main base in Basel, where most of the musicians studied and specialised in the field of New Music.

Among its programmes, highlights include Gesture as sonority, where Black Box Music by Simon Steen Andersen was premiered; All the defects of the human being with Generation Kill by the Belgian composer Stefan Prins; The Mechanization of Music with 29 by Manuel Rodríguez-Valenzuela; as well as premieres by Johannes Kreidler, Lara Stanic and collaborations with Cathy van Eck.

CONTAINER has its main activity in Switzerland but has also a strong presence in other European countries, performing in New Music Festivals such as Vang, Mixtur, or Ensems.
