Repertoirelist full ensemble

Below you can see an overview of BIT20 Ensemble’s repertoire. We have listed all the works for full sinfonietta first (the ensemble’s full instrumentation), then the pieces for smaller instrumentations.

The ensemble commissions and premiers new works regularly. In addition to the listed works we can perform other works on request. We have left out repertoire for more rare and smaller instrumentations (outside our standard instrumentation) even if we regularly perform pieces for 1 - 25 musicians. We have also left out works for the stage (opera amongst other). You will also find information about the repertoire for our two permanent smaller groups within the ensemble, BIT20 Jugband and BIT20 Duo, under own headings.
