Performance Practice in Contemporary Music (PPCM)

With the successful special model of a “collective professorship” at the University of Music and Performing Arts Graz (KUG), the soloist ensemble Klangforum Wien has been dedicated to passing on forms of expression and playing techniques to a new generation of musicians for over 15 years as part of the “PPCM Instrumental” study programme.

Performance Practice in Contemporary Music (PPCM)

The generally high level of today's instrumental students and the constantly changing demands of the music market require a strong artistic profile and adaptation to an international, digitalized and diverse music scene.

Two programmes for Performance Practice in Contemporary Music are offered: a two-year master's programme and a one-year postgraduate course. The curriculum, which addresses current developments in contemporary music in terms of repertoire and performance practice, is supplemented by studios, themed workshops and interdisciplinary projects.

The annual season concert by Klangforum Wien lecturers together with PPCM students at the MUMUTH represents a highlight of the PPCM study programme.

Current information on registration & admission can be found on the KUG website: www.kug.ac.at
