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.

Sobald sich die Frage nach dem Ver- hältnis des Einzelnen zur Gesellschaft stellt, wird es spannend, dramatisch, vielleicht auch versöhnlich. Manchmal entsteht auch etwas völlig Neues – zum Beispiel, wenn in Beat Furrers »Phaos« Solomotive zu üppigen Klangkomplexen werden, die quirlig und vielfältig, unterbrochen von Pausen, sich in wellenartiges Pulsieren verwandeln, das sich in Wiederholun- gen zu einer gleißenden Woge steigert. Phaos kommt aus dem Griechischen und steht für Licht – in Beat Furrers Lesart wird daraus eine Klangstudie über phosphoreszierende Lichtpartikel und eine Metapher für drohende Katastrophen. Márton Illés lädt die Ausnahmegeigerin Patricia Kopatchinskaja in »Vont-tér« zu einem komplexen Dialog mit dem WDR Sinfonie- orchester und einer gemeinsamen Suche nach neuen instrumen- talen Klängen, Spieltechniken und Ausdrucksmöglichkeiten ein. Im Wechselspiel mit dem Orchester agiert die Sologeige im offe- nen Klangraum, entfernt sich von spieltechnischen Konventionen und findet eigene Spielmöglichkeiten in Márton Illés’ originärer Musiksprache.

Diana Soh Composer
Diana Soh Composer Described as “a composer to follow” (France Musique), Diana Soh is one of today’s most exciting young artists. A multi- disciplinary Singaporean composer based in Paris, she has written for a wide range of instrumentation from chamber music, to orchestra, dance, film, choral and vocal music, and multi-media site-specific works. Diana’s musical interest is directed at exploring performance interactivity as well as obtaining specific sound colours from the intimate collaboration with performers. Known for integrating the use of technology and interested in theatre, she often surprises her audiences and finds ways to address social issues of our times in her work and “composes the impossible” (Concert Classic). Notable highlights include A is for Aiyah with soprano Elise Chauvin as the soloist, which was premiered in Singapore by the Singapore Symphony Orchestra (2018) as well as her string quartet sssh by the Mettis Quartet at the Aix en Provence Festival (2018). Her upcoming seasons see her venturing into the music theatre world with 2 operas: Façon Tragique de Tuer une Femme which will be premiered in 2023, and The Carmen Case the season after. Her adventure in vocal writing continues with a mono-drama for Opera de Lyon and a commission from the Maîtrise de Radio France, Parisce and a solo voice piece titled La Ville-Zizi. In addition, of smaller things will be presented in Austria by Schallfeld Ensemble in 2021 and Of the spaces between by Ensemble Æquilibrium in Singapore in 2022. Since establishing herself in Paris, Diana was Composer-in-Residence for 2 years (2012 / 2013) at the National Centre for Creation - La Muse en Circuit, concluded with a one-hour monographic concert of her works during the 2013 Festival Extension.

And it is precisely in the last three years that Vito has achieved even greater success, recently being capped off with the prestigious Prešeren Fund Prize in 2014, as well as a series of performances of his compositions at a diverse range of international music venues. Vito’s close collaboration with composers and performers of various stylistic orientations was an additional impetus for us to prepare the Slowind Festival under the leadership of a Slovenian artistic director for the first time! This autumn, we will put ourselves at the mercy of the vortex of time and again celebrate to some extent. On this occasion, we will mark the th th 90 birthday of Pierre Boulez as well as the 80 birthday of Helmut Lachenmann and Georg Katzer. In addition to works by these distinguished th composers, the 17 Slowind Festival will also present a range of prominent composers of our time, including Bruno Mantovani, Brice Pauset, Michael Pelzel, Heinz Holliger, Beat Furrer and Márton Illés, as well as Slovenian composers Larisa Vrhunc, Nina Šenk, Bojana Šaljić Podešva, Uroš Rojko, and Matej Bonin, and, of course, the festival’s artistic director Vito Žuraj.

Erinnerungen an Herbert Von Karajan
DailyNr. 18, 15./16. August 2008 Erinnerungen an Herbert von Karajan Geheimnisse eines Großen SALZBURGER FESTSPIELE 2008 Herbert von Karajan,Herbert von Foto: S. Institut Karajan und Herbert Lauterwasser / Eliette von SALZBURGER FESTSPIELE 2008 Daily Nr. 18, 15./16. August 2008 auberflöten-Freuden. Riccardo Muti und sein Team flatterten beschwingt nach der bejubel- ten Premiere von Mozarts Zauberflöte nur wenige Meter Luftlinie weiter. Im Stiftskeller ZSt. Peter war der Tisch gedeckt. Die Gäste erwartete ein mindestens so reiches Mahl wie den unglücklichen Papageno auf der Suche nach seinem Weibchen. Und so wie die Zauberflöte ein Teil der Salzburger Identität ist, gehört auch der bereits im Jahr 803 erwähnte Stiftskeller zu den tra- ditionsreichen und gerne besuchten Institutionen der Stadt. Koch und Mundschenk machten ihre Sache jedenfalls gut. Sänger und Musiker erholten sich somit rasch von überstandenen Feuer- und Wasserproben, die sie in den herrlich farbenfrohen Bühnenbildern des großen, 2006 verstor- benen Karel Appel und unter Anleitung von Regisseur Pierre Audi zu bestehen hatten. Auch wenn es am Ende der Zauberflöte heißt: „Die Strahlen der Sonne vertreiben die Nacht“, hielt das bunte Zauberflöten-Ensemble dann trotzdem nicht bis zum Morgengrauen durch. he Joys of Die Zauberflöte. After the celebrated premiere of Mozart’s Zauberflöte, Riccardo Muti and his team alighted cheerfully just a few meters down the road. The tables had been set Tat the Stiftskeller St. Peter. The guests were greeted by a meal at least as sumptuous as the one offered to the unhappy Papageno in search of his wife. And just as Die Zauberflöte is part of Salz- burg’s identity, the Stiftskeller, first mentioned in records in 803, is one of the most traditional and popular institutions of the city.

Rebecca Saunders Awarded Roche Commission to Write New Piano Concerto for Nicolas Hodges
Rebecca Saunders awarded Roche Commission to write new piano concerto for Nicolas Hodges 30 October, Wigmore Hall 12 January, Glasgow City Halls Lutyens, Clarke, ThomallaWORLD PREMIERES Steen-Andersen Piano ConcertoUK PREMIERE 24 November, Lucerne Festival 2 March, Barbican Tsukamoto, Ciurlo, HilliWORLD PREMIERES Ligeti Piano Concerto 29 August 2020, Lucerne Festival Rebecca Saunders Piano ConcertoWORLD PREMIERE On 29 August 2020, the prolific contemporary pianist Nicolas Hodges will inaugurate the world premiere performance of Rebecca Saunders’ Piano Concerto at the Lucerne Festival. Roche, in collaboration with the Lucerne Festival and the Lucerne Festival Academy, has awarded Rebecca Saunders their prestigious Roche Commission to enable her to compose a piano concerto for Hodges, who breaks new ground in 2018-19 with a series of world and UK premieres, including three premieres at the Wigmore Hall on 30 October and the UK premiere of Simon Steen-Andersen’s Piano Concerto on 12 January. The biannual Roche Commissions have previously been awarded to several high-profile composers, including Sir Harrison Birtwistle and Sir George Benjamin. Rather than commissioning works that will cater to mainstream fashions, Roche Commissions enables musical works to venture beyond the conventional and provide intellectual stimulation. Saunders will interact with leading scientists over the following two years and in 2020 the newly-developed commission will be premiered at the Lucerne Summer Festival. With piano soloist Hodges, the work will be performed by the Orchestra of the Lucerne Festival Academy conducted by previous Roche Commissions award-winner Matthias Pintscher. Nicolas Hodges is an ideal collaborator for Saunders’ commission. Never shying away from challenging new writing, Hodges continues to push the boundaries of modern piano music with bold and incisive performances.
