Since its launch in January 2019, Deutsche Grammophon's 'XII' has grown with new compositions every month. Renewal has always been part of music, long before the invention of such distinctive categories as 'Classical' or 'Contemporary'. The changing seasons and life's restless stream of feelings and emotions lie behind the sounds of 'XII', Deutsche Grammophon's celebration of new works by some of today's most innovative and creative musicians. Building upon the Yellow Label's commitment to new repertoire, 'XII' presents a series of works with the power to punch through the crowd of monthly releases and establish an online home on influential music-streaming playlists. Their composers, free from rigid genre boundaries, reflect contemporary classical music's diversity.
