NOUVELLES AVENTURES – KONZERTHAUS WIEN

Luigi Nono’s 100th birthday on January 29, 2024 is the occasion for an Italian program focus: the Minguet Quartet celebrates it with his string quartet and older pieces to which Nono refers in it. Already in November, our »Great Talent« Anton Gerzenberg and Marco Stroppa will interpret, among others, Nono’s »Traiettoria«, a concerto for piano and electronic sounds and one of the great masterpieces of the 1980s. In March, the Schallfeld Ensemble, founded by students of Klangforum Wien in Graz, will present works by Scelsi and Sciarrino as well as string trios by young Italian composers. The focus on Italy is flanked by two monoliths: a large-scale, full-length cycle by Mark Andre in St. Stephen’s Cathedral and an intimate portrait concert dedicated to the composer Kaija Saariaho.
