Grenzenlos' mission is to use new music to facilitate intercultural dialogue, through innovative programming, multimedia and interdisciplinary collaborations, and long-term projects that foster greater inter-cultural understanding.
Members of Grenzenlos perform/ have performed as part of the Berlin Philharmonic, Ensemble Modern, Klangforum Wien and ELISION among others. Grenzenlos has performed at such prestigious venues as Princeton University (USA), Meran Palace (Austria) and the ORKA-M Institute (India). In 2008-2009 it will commence its first concert series in New York City, with performances at Symphony Space and the New York Times Center. In 2008, Workshops also take place at the University of London.
In July 2008 a small group from Grenzenlos will travel to Hong Kong and south-east China to prepare for their longer-term collaborations. They will meet with local arts organizations, composers, ensembles and festival organizers, and give several preview concerts. In October 2008, they will tour China, with residencies at the Shanghai Conservatory and at the People's Theatre in Beijing. Grenzenlos management is also hoping to establish a permanent branch in Hong Kong starting in 2008, aiming to facilitate international artistic exchanges in the region.
