The Labor M (Montaigne), which returns annually, is considered a versatile tradition of local contemporary music.

Every spring, Ensemble Montaigne calls for submissions of pieces and concepts for the Labor M project. This time, five composers responded to the call and once again a varied program of pieces for two to four instruments was created. There are classical scores (Inderbizin and Billeter), improvisation concepts (Weber and Blum) and a piece in Urs Peter Schneider's unmistakable musical signature. Look forward to unheard-of moments, musical surprises, active listening and discussions with composers and performers!
