ensemble schallfeld

 Schallfeld is an international ensemble for contemporary music based in Graz. The group sparks the interest of its audience by its vivid virtuosity and refined chamber music sound, paired with interpretations that pay special attention to concert format, creating events that adapt to the specific venue while aiming for a new dimension of listening. The ensemble was founded in 2013 by alumni of Klangforum Wien and composition students of Kunstuniversität Graz. It currently consists of musicians from 8 nationalities and reflects the diversity and different interests of its members in its artistic direction. In the last few years, Schallfeld has been able to establish itself on international stages through exciting programming with a focus on young composers, innovative concert-stagings as well as through the quality of its collective improvisations and innovative use of live-electronics. Schallfeld sees its mission in bringing music of international young composers to Austria and acting as an ambassador for new music production abroad. 

between feathers
 Under the name between feathers, four musicians have come together to offer a distinctive formation to the contemporary Austrian music scene: voice, flutes, accordion, and percussion. In addition to performing both international and regional repertoire, the ensemble focuses on collaborations with composers, visual artists, and dancers who inspire the creation of thoughtfully curated programs that address the concerns of modern society.

IRCAM - Institute for scientific research and music creation, associated with the Centre Pompidou
 the Institute for Research and Coordination in Acoustics/Music directed by Frank Madlener, is one of the world’s largest public research centers dedicated to both musical expression and scientific research. This unique location where artistic sensibilities collide with scientific and technological innovation brings together over 160 collaborators. IRCAM's three principal activities — creation, research, transmission — are visible in IRCAM's Parisian concert season, in productions throughout France and abroad, and in an annual rendezvous, ManiFeste, that combines an international festival with a multidisciplinary academy.
