At the outHEAR New Music Week, aspiring composers gain new insights into performing and composition techniques in an inspiring environment and can directly bring their pieces to life with musicians from Klangforum Wien and students from the Performance Practice in Contemporary Music (PPCM) degree programmes at the University of Music and Performing Arts Graz. In workshops and mentoring sessions with the outHEAR faculty, the young composers can refocus their talents. In 2024, the faculty for composition consisted of Franck Bedrossian, Annesley Black, Dimitri Papageorgiou and Orestis Toufektsis.
