There it established itself as the ensemble in residence of the Laeiszhalle – Musikhalle Hamburg with the concert series Resonanzen.

In Hamburg's Schanzenviertel, Ensemble Resonanz has established the concert series urban string since 2011, which combines classical music and club culture.
Since 2014, the ensemble has been cooperating with the free music radio station ByteFM [de] – also based in the Bunker Hamburg – in the context of a monthly classical music programme.[3]
