Konzert Minimal
Konzert Minimal was initiated by Johnny Chang and Koen Nutters in November 2010.
It is an ensemble and a concert series concentrating on playing works by the Wandelweiser composers community. It is made up of a variety of Berlin-based musicians from the experimental music community who were invited, one by one, to join the group to explore the boundaries between listening and perceptions through silence, tones, harmonies and space.
The concerts have been taking place in our homebase: the Berlin cafe ‘O Tannenbaum’
and since recently also in other venues in Berlin such as: NK and Labor Sonor as well as
international festivals suchs as ‘Sonic Acts’ in Amsterdam.
Current Series in progress

Complete series of open instrumentation compositions for 1 to 20 instrumentalists.
Michael Pisaro - Harmony Series 1-20 (November 2011 - )
