KLANGSPUREN SCHWAZ INTERNATIONAL ENSEMBLE MODERN ACADEMY IN TIROL. REBECCA SAUNDERS COMPOSER IN RESIDENCE. 15TH EDITION 29.08. – 09.09.2018 KLANGSPUREN INTERNATIONAL ENSEMBLE MODERN ACADEMY 2018 KLANGSPUREN SCHWAZ is celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2018. The annual Tyrolean festival of contemporary music provides a stage for performances, encounters, and for the exploration and exchange of new musical ideas. With a different thematic focus each year, KLANGSPUREN aims to present a survey of the fascinating, diverse panorama that the music of our time boasts. KLANGSPUREN values open discourse, participation, and partnership and actively seeks encounters with locals as well as visitors from abroad. The entire beautiful region of Tyrol unfolds as the festival’s playground, where the most cutting-edge and modern forms of music as well as many young composers and musicians are presented. On the occasion of its own milestone anniversary – among other anniversaries that KLANGSPUREN SCHWAZ 2018 will be celebrating this year – the 25th edition of the festival has chosen the motto „Festivities. Places.“ (in German: „Feste. Orte.“). The program emphasizes projects and works that focus on aspects of celebrations, festivities, rituals, and events and have a specific reference to place and situation. KLANGSPUREN INTERNATIONAL ENSEMBLE MODERN ACADEMY is celebrating its 15th anniversary. The Academy is an offshoot of the renowned International Ensemble Modern Academy (IEMA) in Frankfurt and was founded in the same year as IEMA, in 2003. The Academy is central to KLANGSPUREN and has developed into one of the most successful projects of the Tyrolean festival for new music. The high standards of the Academy are vouched for by prominent figures who have acted as Composers in Residence: György Kurtág, Helmut Lachenmann, Steve Reich, Benedict Mason, Michael Gielen, Wolfgang Rihm, Martin Matalon, Johannes Maria Staud, Heinz Holliger, George Benjamin, Unsuk Chin, Hans Zender, Hans Abrahamsen, Wolfgang Mitterer, Beat Furrer, Enno Poppe, and most recently in 2017, Sofia Gubaidulina. -

Jeudi 28 Avril Solistes De L'ensemble
Roch-Olivier Maistre, Président du Conseil d’administration Laurent Bayle, Directeur général Jeudi 28 avril Solistes de l’ensemble intercontemporain Jeudi 28 avril 28 Jeudi | Dans le cadre du cycle L’œuvre ouverte Du mardi 19 au samedi 30 avril Vous avez la possibilité de consulter les notes de programme en ligne, 2 jours avant chaque concert, à l’adresse suivante : www.citedelamusique.fr Solistes de l’ensemble intercontemporain intercontemporain Solistes de l’ensemble Cycle L’œuvre ouverte Libres explorateurs de tous les possibles, laissant venir ce qui doit venir : de Cage au free-jazz en passant par la caméra ixe d’Andy Warhol, bien des artistes ont tenté de saisir l’ouvert. C’est justement Andy Warhol qui est au centre du premier concert de ce cycle. L’artiste expérimental Scanner, alias Robin Rimbaud, travaille sur la voix de Warhol issue de ses interviews. Il fait émerger des espaces vides, des hésitations et des respirations nécessaires à la construction – parfois à partir d’un simple « euh » – d’un univers sonore. Des images projetées accompagnent cette performance, donnant à voir l’expression warholienne de l’ennui et sa fascination du détail. Quant à Dean & Britta, issus du groupe de rock indépendant Luna, ils inventent une bande-son pour les screen tests auxquels Warhol soumettait ses visiteurs, connus ou anonymes : le résultat de deux minutes quarante était ensuite projeté au ralenti ain d’en obtenir quatre. Le pianiste Cecil Taylor a révolutionné le jazz en libérant l’improvisation des conventions en vigueur : il est, avec Ornette Coleman, l’un des créateurs du free-jazz. -

June 2013 at BFI Southbank
13/19 June 2013 at BFI Southbank Werner Herzog, Nikkatsu Studios, Rita Hayworth, Yoko Ono’s Meltdown, Tony Garnett Werner Herzog is a truly prolific filmmaker having directed, produced, written and acted in a number of features and documentaries now deemed legendary in cinematic history, such as Fitzcarraldo, Grizzly Man and Cave of Forgotten Dreams. This month BFI Southbank presents Part One of an in-depth focus on his films, also including an Extended Run of Aguirre, Wrath of God, which will be re-released by the BFI on June 7. Rita Hayworth, known to fans as ‘The Love Goddess’, was one of the biggest stars of the 40s; this month a selection of her finest films will illustrate why she earned this moniker, with Only Angels Have Wings, Cover Girl and, of course, Gilda With Seasons in the Sun: The Heyday of Nikkatsu Studios, we screen some of the most popular Japanese films of the 50s and 60s to mark the centenary anniversary of the studios. Cult classics Branded to Kill and Stray Cat Rock: Sex Hunter have influenced John Woo and Quentin Tarantino, and play alongside lesser known gems This month our Tony Garnett season Seeing Red concludes with a rare on-stage interview – with Mark Lawson, on Tuesday 4 June – alongside defining examples of his work as a producer, writer and director, such as Law and Order (a pre-cursor to The Wire), the first episode of This Life and the rarely screened films Prostitute and Handgun This year’s Meltdown festival is curated by Yoko Ono and she has curated a selection of films to screen at BFI Southbank, including Grave of the Fireflies and Battleship Potemkin with a score by Pet Shop Boys.
