konsTellation plus 2024
Review

konsTellation plus, the second pillar of the Klangspuren Academy’s Future Lab, was established as a platform to help highly talented musicians continue their education and professionalisation in cooperation with the Tyrolean State Conservatory. In 2024, the project was conceived as a listening experience that invited the audience to explore a variety of instrumentations of the 51 short pieces of Georges Aperghis’ Strasbourg instantanés cycle in an individual way. The Kaufhaus Tyrol in Innsbruck was selected as an unusual and exciting performance venue, which, under the musical direction of Michael Wendeberg, gave concertgoers the freedom to experience the works from variable listening perspectives of their own choosing. In order to ensure that the students would have an intensive and lasting experience with contemporary music, their teachers – under the direction of Ivana Pristašová Zaugg – had already prepared them for the special playing techniques of new music and familiarised them with its special notation during the summer semester. 

The concert took place on September 21, 2024 at the Kaufhaus Tyrol.
