New and latest music
Impuls, an internationally renowned Austrian institution for the further education of young composers and the promotion of contemporary music, will be held in Graz in August.
Founded in 1998 by Beat Furrer and Ernst Kovacic, Impuls 2020 had to be canceled due to coronavirus. This year, the events will take place again in Graz. The 12th International Ensemble and Composers Academy for Contemporary Music and the 7th festival are organized by Impuls, the association for the mediation of contemporary music, and the University of Music and Performing Arts Graz.
Around 150 people from many countries take part in the academy. It offers composition students and young professionals the opportunity to spend two weeks working with world-class artists, exchanging ideas and continuing their education. The festival offers concerts with music from the 20th and 21st centuries and a rich music education program. The first three of the twelve festival days focus on Austrian composers and performers.
