punctum collective is an ensemble and association dedicated to contemporary music and transmedial art forms, founded in 2018 by six musicians based in Vienna and France: Konstanze Heinicke (violin), Eirini Krikoni (violin), Sarah Maria Dragović (viola/voice), Jake Mann (clarinet/bass clarinet), Nava Hemyari (voice, composition, recorder), and Evgeny Ignashev (sound art, composition).

Through collective collaboration, the ensemble has developed diverse concert formats such as moquette(Konzilsgedächtniskirche Lainz Speising) and blinds, exploring contemporary repertoire with their unique instrumentation. Alongside works by established composers including Enno Poppe, Carola Bauckholt, Salvatore Sciarrino, Friedrich Cerha, and György Kurtág, punctum collective is strongly committed to performing and premiering works by young composers. Their programs frequently incorporate electronics, transmedial elements, performance, and free improvisation, offering audiences innovative and interdisciplinary concert experiences.
