Apparat is a Berlin-based brass ensemble dedicated to contemporary music. Rooted in a core quartet — Mathilde Conley, Samuel Stoll, Weston Olencki, and Max Murray — the ensemble collaborates with composers, sound-artists, improvisers, and a cohort of unique Berlin-based brass instrumentalists in the presentation of work ranging widely in scale and format.
Recent activity includes performances at Klang Festival Copenhagen, Dark Music Days Reykjavik, Kalv Festival, SPOR Festival Aarhus, Eclat Festival Stuttgart, and the Ultraschall Festival Berlin. The ensemble has appeared regularly at Berlin’s KM28, and in the context of EnsembleKollektiv Berlin, in Musikfest and Maerzmusik of the Berliner Festspiele.
