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.

Announcement Hans Zender Akademie EN
Call for Applications The International Ensemble Modern Academy is cooperating with the Department of Culture of the City of Meersburg on the 1st Hans Zender Academy | November 13–22, 2021 in Meersburg/Bodensee inviting applications from ➢ Instrumentalists (Flute, Oboe, Clarinet, Piano, Violin, Viola, Cello) ➢ Singers (Female Voices) ➢ Composers Hans Zender was not only a creative and ever-thoughtful spirit as a composer and conductor, but an initiator of many projects on different levels: exchange with the coming generations of artists was as important to him as what is known today as “music education”. In addition to his support for young composers, working directly with young instrumentalists was a matter dear to his heart: the Meersburger KonzertGespräche, or Meersburg Concert Conversations, initiated in 2018 with Hans Zender’s involvement, are testament to this. Building upon this initiative, the International Ensemble Modern Academy e.V. (IEMA) is partnering with the City of Meersburg, Hans Zender’s last place of residence, to continue not only the Meersburg Concert Conversations, but add a format culminating in a new international master class to be established there: the Hans Zender Academy. The course is intended for advanced students or professionals at the outset of their careers in instrumental performance, voice/singing and composition. Guided by experienced instructors who are Ensemble Modern members, the singer Salome Kammer and the composer Nikolaus Brass, a broad range of repertoire will be rehearsed, chief among it one of Hans Zender’s main works, “Cabaret Voltaire” (2001/02), which was inspired by dadaism. Further works by Giacinto Scelsi, Paul Hindemith, Nikolaus Brass, Maurice Ravel and Arnold Schoenberg round out a programme which is also devoted to tracing the sonic dimensions of language.

Biographic Sketch and Work Catalogue
Biographic Sketch and Work Catalogue Jörg Widmann was born on 19 June 1973 in Munich, the son of a physicist and a teacher and textile artist. His younger sister is the violinist and violin professor Carolin Widmann. He began clarinet lessons at age 7, completing his education with Gerd Starke at the Munich Music Academy and with Charles Neidich at the Juilliard School in New York. His studies in composition began with Kay Westermann when he was 11 years old; they were continued in 1994-1996 with Wilfried Hiller and Hans Werner Henze and concluded in 1997-1999 with Heiner Goebbels and Wolfgang Rihm. Since the fall of 2001, Widmann has been teaching as professor of clarinet at the Musikhochschule Freiburg; eight years later the same institution additionally named him professor of composition. As a clarinetist, Widmann champions chamber music. He concertizes regularly with partners like the oboist Heinz Holliger, the violists Tabea Zimmermann and Kim Kashkashian, the pianists András Schiff and Hélène Grimaud, and the soprano Christine Schäfer. Moreover, he is celebrated at home and abroad as a soloist in clarinet concertos, and several contem- porary composers have dedicated works for or with clarinet to him. Thus he premiered Wolfgang Rihm’s Music for Clarinet and Orchestra in 1999, Aribert Reimann’s Cantus in 2006, Heinz Holliger’s Rechant in 2009, and Peter Ruzicka’s Three Pieces for Clarinet Solo in 2012. In the course of the years 1993 to 2013, i.e., the two decades between his twentieth and his fortieth birthdays, Widmann has written more than eighty compositions.

Ensemble Modern Magazin 2016/1 Nr. 43 Frankenstein!! Frankenstein!! Frankenstein Reisebüro grausam gute Laune grausam Dear Friends of Ensemble Modern, Inhalt Index Since 1997 I have been an Ensemble Modern member, working as its sound director. If you like, I am the man behind the mixing console. Combining sound design and sound directing, I try to create imaginary spaces. Such a space can result even from one microphone being in the room with one loudspeaker. These spaces can coincide, or be made to coincide, with real spaces; however, new levels of sound, new sound worlds may also be created. In my professional life, there is still a feeling familiar from my childhood. As a teenager, I occasionally fi lled in for our church’s sexton. Some days, when everyone Norbert Ommer had left the church, I quickly locked the doors from the inside and went to the organ to improvise for myself. The feeling I had when turning on the organ in the empty nave of the church, the fi rst sound that fi lled 2 the great space – that feeling is one I still occasionally 4 Drei Porträts 3 have today, the very moment I switch on a large Happy New Ears sound system.
