As part of the ninth edition of the impuls Festival in Graz, new works by young composers will once again be premiered this year by Klangforum Wien .
After composers from 48 nations and five continents submitted their pieces to the impuls Composition Competition 2022/2023, a jury of musicians and composers (Paul Beckett, Franck Bedrossian, Clara Iannotta, Sarah Nemtsov and Anders Nyqvist) selected five winners in May 2023, who were subsequently commissioned to write a composition. These new pieces for Ensemble can now be heard for the first time in Graz.
Also part of the program is a pre-concert talk in which the composers and conductor Vimbayi Kaziboni will provide further insights into their pieces.
