Broken Frames Syndicate

Broken Frames Syndicate is a ten-piece soloist ensemble from Frankfurt dedicated to the interpretation of contemporary music and the further development of a contemporary concert culture.

For our innovative project ideas and the already distinct frequency in the great sound of contemporary music, we were awarded the Ensemble Prize of the Ernst von Siemens Music Foundation in 2024.

Broken Frames Syndicate combines excellent ensemble playing with innovative, socio-political concepts, questions norms and expands the listening experience through interdisciplinary collaborations and in-house productions.

The ensemble was founded in 2018 after the International Ensemble Modern Academy. It is now at home in the Frankfurt cultural space "Netzwerk Seilerei" - where the group rehearses, experiments and organizes itself.
We also perform regularly in concerts in Germany and abroad.

We question the existing.

We draw strength from fractures.

We are the Broken Frames Syndicate.

We cooperate with young composers and put current music into the context of topics that matter to us.
