NEWSLETTER 1/2017

Dear friends of contemporary music, hereby i would like to invite you again to join the impuls Festival 2017 - be it as participant of our impuls Academy, as visitor coming to Graz in person or be it just digitally.

From February 10th to 21st impuls offers various programs taking place at different locations throughout the City of Graz – in galleries and in public spaces, small art institutions such as esc and kunst.wirt.schaft, at the Kunstuniversität Graz, Minoritensaal, Helmut List Halle and other venues also beyond classical concert stages . Concerts, presentations, lectures, discussions and other music communication programs are offered on a daily basis, partly with free admission . Unconventional formats such as the impuls MinuteConcerts (18.2.) or Day on Campus and in the City (19.2.) hereby allow to get in touch with contemporary music in a very casual way and meet up with artists on eye-level.

More than 240 young musicians and composers coming from more than 50 nations and 4 continents will join the impuls Academy this year and also present themselves at our Festival along with various renowned musicians such as Klangforum Wien, Trio Accanto and this year´s impuls tutors . With various premieres and young composers performed, lots of discoveries can be made at the Festival and of course you also will not have to miss already well established composers and their works.

For furher info check our homepage, www.impuls.cc/en/festival-2017.html and scroll down for a quick summary of some of the daily highlights.

Hope to see you in Graz soon!

Best

Ute Pinter www.impuls.cc secretary general
