impuls Commissions
impuls does not only commission pieces in the framework of the impuls Composition Competition, but also commissions new works from other young composers for specific projects. For several years also impuls Academy composer participants profited from Ernst, a cooperation with the Ernst Krenek Institute and Klangforum Wien coming along with both a commission, a residency and a premiere of the new pieces.
