impuls . International Composition Competition

Call for entries now!

April 20th through November 20th, 2010

impuls promotes and supports young composers not only within its Academy, but also through the impuls Composition Competition.
impuls commissions up to 6 new works for ensemble every second year from young composers selected by a jury. Subsequently these composers are invited to take part in the impuls Composition Workshop in Vienna and Graz – where their new works are collectively rehearsed and discussed extensively with musicians of world-class ensembles such as Klangforum Wien – as well as to the première of their new pieces within the impuls Academy and Festival in Graz. impuls also intends to support the composers´ works beyond that through recordings respectively broadcasting and additional concerts.

Infos on selected composers of the last impuls Composition Competition (première of pieces: February 5th, 2011, Graz): please have a look at Composers 2011. For infos on former composers of this program, please have a look at Archives.

Call for entries for the current impuls Composition Competition: April 20th through November 20th, 2010.
