Young ensembles in residency – Austria

Credits : Arturo Fuentes

impuls invites one young ensemble during its 2013’s academy to work intensively with composer participants and tutors on spot. Thus the ensemble is given the possibility for extensive rehearsals and artistic cooperation, taking advantage also of other offers: meet up with tutors, attend lectures, meet and exchange, interlink and work with different instrumentalists, building up new repertoire… and present the results in public concerts.

For 2013 and 2014, the Stockholm based ensemble Curious Chamber Players has been selected as ensemble in residency.

Always full of curiosity, the Curious Chamber Players have explored a wide spectrum of new music since 2003 – from hard-core modernism to graphic scores, from minimalism to noise music, … with and without electronics, installations and improvisation.
Therefore experimenting is one of the main virtues of this ensemble located in Stockholm, which is co-directed by the composer Malin Bång. Since the very beginning it has worked with many mostly young scandinavian composers and is gladly expanding into new realms of sounds by including daily objects (like balloons or kitchen stuff, self built instruments or beckoning cats …).
After having worked especially with participants of the impuls Academy, the Ensemble will present some of the submitted works of a Call for Scores the 19th of February.
