Three world premieres in 2023 by Lisa Streich: In February, the Swede celebrated the premiere of her work FLÜGEL at the Elbphilharmonie Visions festival. This was followed by BALLHAUS, which was created for Staatsoper Hannover as part of the "more than music" series. In June of this year, Streich's work ISHJÄRTA will be premiered by the Berliner Philharmoniker.

On March 16th 2023, Younghi Pagh-Paan's Die Blüte - Wurzelwerk celebrated its world premiere. The piece was written for piano and ensemble and was presented by Münchener Kammerorchester who also commissioned it.
