Further program information

Every second year impuls opens a call for its international Composition Competition, commissions new works for ensemble from the composers selected and invites them to work intensively with Klangforum Wien, one of the world´s leading ensembles, at the impuls Composition Workshop. In this way impuls does not only support young composition participants at the impuls Academies, but also contributes to the careers of young and internationally rising composers.

Tonight another four newly written works by composers from Ukraine, Italy, Japan and Poland/USA/Israel will be premiered at the impuls Festival, and of course the composers will be present for this very special occasion (except for Anna Korsun, who is enjoying a residence on the West Coast of the USA). On top, a quite new piece of Malin Bång, a former winner of the impuls Competition and by now senior lecturer at the Göteborg Academy of Music and Drama, tutor at this year´s impuls Academy and visiting professor at various other international Academies, will add up to the world premieres program.

Aside from some short films on these five composers, that impuls sponsor AVL Cultural Foundation has published in their series „Front Row Seat“ and that are shown also in the Foyer tonight, anyone interested to meet the artists also in person and find out more about their works, can do so before tonight´s concert at a half hour Composer´s Talk, moderated by Johannes Kalitzke. A more in depth analysis of the works and discussion with the composers and Johannes Kalitzke is then to follow on August 3rd, 9.30-10.30, at KUG.

On top of that, Klangforum Wien and Johannes Kalitzke will also be present at the impuls Academy and offer a full day with Reading Sessions for composition participants, where, amongst others, questions on formal and esthetic aspects, notation and instrumentation are discussed.
