Who we are

Die Randzone is an unconventional ensemble and artist collective based in Austria. It was born out of the desire to establish a platform for the development of the repertoire of today. We aim to stretch the definition of contemporary music through interdisciplinarity and experimentation with multimedia. We understand music and art as a vehicle for connection, knowledge and reflection upon contemporary society.
