impuls MinuteConcerts

Already for the 17th time, impuls invites to an acoustic and visual tour through various galleries and art institutions in Graz with its successfull format, the impuls MinuteConcerts. Young musicians present works from the 20th and 21st centuries – the spectrum hereby ranges from classical modern to most current compositions, electronic music and improvisations. Interacting with fine arts as well as exhibitions of jewelry and exquisite carpets, contemporary music can be experienced at first hand in locations with an atmosphere, that feels quite different to classical concert stages. Thus a special kind of event can be expected, appealing not only to experts and connoisseurs, but also to curious ones, passers-by and explorers, and inviting them to get a quick taste of music of our times or stay much longer. Children and young ones are just as welcome as adults, the admission is free. So feel welcome to stroll through the city with us and many young musicians, get to know each other at eye and ear level, experience a wide variety of contemporary music, and enjoy spending a day together full of art and music, enriched in a new, stimulating interplay!
