The Klangspuren Composers Lab (09/16/2025–09/23/2025 in Schwaz, Tyrol) is part of Klangspuren Academy’s “Future Lab”, a format initiated in 2022 that is aimed at highly talented international and local composers pursuing a professional career. With annually changing instructors and musical partners, the festival provides eight selected candidates with the opportunity for encounter, exchange and development. In 2025, the tutors for the Composers Lab are once again outstanding musical personalities: the composers Justė Janulytė, Lithuania, Johannes Maria Staud, Austria, and Vienna-based Studio Dan with conductor Lin Liao. With the expertise of these pedagogically trained instructors, the participants will gain new insights and perspectives on pieces they will be writing specifically for Studio Dan. The Composers Lab will provide a reality check under excellent rehearsal conditions.  

Participation in the Klangspuren Composers Lab was determined by an international competition. Seven participants were nominated through a two-stage selection process. The participants’ work will be premiered by Studio Dan at the Klangspuren Schwaz festival on 23 September 2025. 
Participants 2025: Agustín Castellón Molina, Carmel Curiel, Tina Geroldinger, Patrik Kako, Emanuele Savagnone, Yixie Shen, Ziyi Tao.
