Evening program

impuls promotes and supports young composers not only at its Academy, but also through the international impuls Composition Competition. Every second year impuls opens a call for its competition, commissions new works for ensemble from the composers selected and invites them to work with Klangforum Wien, one of the world´s leading ensembles, intensively at the impuls Composition Workshop. Tonight five of these newly written works will be premiered and of course all five composers will be present at this special event.

Anyone interested to find out more about the composers and their works has several chances to meet up with them beyond the concert itself: Already on February 13th a rehearsal will be opened up at the Proberaum of Klangforum Wien followed by a discussion of composers, conductor and also some of the interpreters (moderation: Doris Weberberger, mica) and just before tonight´s concert you will get the chance to meet up with the composers for a half hour composers´ talk (moderation: Ilan Volkov). And whoever takes an interest in a more in depth analysis of the works is welcome to join again a presentation and discussion with the composers and Ilan Volkov on 17.2.

On top of that Klangforum Wien and Ilan Volkov offer a full day with reading-sessions for young composer participants of the impuls Academy on 16.2., where, amongst others, questions on formal and esthetic aspects, notation and instrumentation are discussed.
