We are pleased to announce that the Ernst von Siemens Music Foundation is awarding the Ensemble Prizes ’26 to NO HAY BANDA from Canada and the Ensemble for New Music Tallinn from Estonia. Out of a strong field of applicants from 13 countries, these two ensembles particularly impressed the jury. Through the Ensemble Prize, the Ernst von Siemens Music Foundation supports exceptional emerging ensembles, with the aim of strengthening both artistic and organizational development. The Prize was established in 2020 and is endowed with €75,000 each. Both ensembles will appear at the Warsaw Autumn Festival in September 2026.
The Ensemble Prize will be presented together with the Ernst von Siemens Music Prize 2026 and the three Composer Prizes on May 23, 2026, at the Prinzregententheater Munich.
