Schönberg series. Written & Experimental Ensemble (W&EE)

Welcome to discover a new ensemble where composition and improvisation meet, and where contemporary music becomes a platform for curiosity, experimentation and cultural exchange.

Founded in Helsinki in 2026 by Heliä Viirakivi and Gon Muruaga, Written & Experimental Ensemble (W&EE) is a new Nordic-Baltic contemporary music ensemble dedicated to music created by its composer-performer members. Its artistic practice brings together contemporary composition, improvisation, electronics, extended techniques and the diverse cultural backgrounds of its musicians.

The Tallinn concert brings together composer-performers working in Finland and Estonia and is created in collaboration with musicians of the Estonian Arnold Schönberg Society (Eesti Arnold Schönbergi Ühing). The collaboration strengthens connections between the Finnish and Estonian experimental music communities while creating new encounters across the Nordic-Baltic contemporary music scene.

The programme moves between written and improvised music, acoustic instruments, voice, electronics and sound installation.
