Since its establishment in 2013, the Ensemble for New Music Tallinn has aimed to bring about innovative, nonconformist music  to a new generation of listeners. Recognised as one of the leading  contemporary music ensembles in the Baltic and Nordic regions,  it consists of a core group of principal musicians and a larger network of collaborators and guest artists, allowing for a flexible and  modular performance format.

With an extensive repertoire of over a two hundred works, including numerous commissioned pieces, the Ensemble for New  Music Tallinn covers a range of contemporary styles and genres.  The ensemble has developed a particular expertise in alternative  intonations and microtonal music, enabling it to execute the intricacies and technical gymnastics required for these specialized  repertoires.

The Ensemble for New Music Tallinn has been responsible for  the world premieres of compositions by composers such as  Georg Friedrich Haas, Klaus Lang, Dror Feiler, Dimitri Kourliandsky, Gérard Pape, Justina Repečkaitė, Żaneta Rydzewska, Marc Sabat, Arash Yazdani, Hugo Morales Murguia, among  others. The ensemble has performed at several festivals and venues, including ORF Musikprotokoll Graz, Mixtur Barcelona,  Schausspielhaus Hannover, Ostrava New Music Days, Warsaw  Autumn, Ars Musica Brussels, intersonanzen Potsdam, Musiikkitalo Helsinki, Unerhörte Musik Berlin, and more.

Since 2017, ENMT has organised the Sound Plasma – Festival/  concert series for Alternative Intonations, held annually in Berlin  and Tallinn. The festival features performances, lectures, masterclasses, and symposia by ensemble members and invited guests. Ensemble for New Music Tallinn is the winner of Ernst von Siemens Music Foundation Ensemble Prize in 2026.
