As a composer and conductor in one, Sir George Benjamin has played a role in the development of contemporary music over the past few decades that can hardly be overestimated. A circumstance that was honored this year with the renowned Ernst von Siemens Music Prize. With two concerts, on 2.9. and 3.9., he will be a guest at the Berlin Music Festival together with the Ensemble Modern, which has grown dear to him.
