Naming as recipients of Ernst von Siemens Ensemble Prize 2025
The Ernst von Siemens Music Foundation (EVS) has announced Collective lovemusic and the Tacet(i) ensembles as the recipients of the 2025 Ensemble Prizes. Each ensemble receives €75,000.
The Tacet(i) ensemble was created in 2014 by composer Piyawat Louilarpprasert and comprises 14 Thai musicians. The string players are violinist Saksilpa Srisukson, violin-violist Tapanatt Kiatpaibulkit, and cellist Kantika Comenaphatt. The ensemble prides itself on being the leading contemporary ensemble in Southeast Asia, and incorporates technology into its performance as it seeks new sonic possibilities.
‘If I had to describe Tacet(i), I would think of a rubber: physically stretchable, robust, tensile and resilient; musically flexible, professional, open-minded and full of lively energy with a smile,’ said Louilarpprasert.
The EVS Ensemble Prize was established in 2020 and is endowed with €150,000 annually, with which it aims to support the artistic and structural development of promising young ensembles. Collective lovemusic and the Tacet(i) ensemble will receive their prizes on 17 May 2025 at the Hercules Hall in Munich, Germany.
