Some infos on the impuls MinuteConcert-format
impuls (www.impuls.cc) is, for the 12th time, hosting a full-day gallery tour with short concerts (with free entry). Over the years, the format has received tremendously positive responses from audiences and the press, alike, as well as from the participating artists themselves, and has become a popular fixture in Graz’s music scene.
Young musicians and/or students (due to organizational and cost-related reasons, currently living in Austria or close by) are again invited to participate in 2022.
The music and gallery tour 2022 starts on June 25th at around 10 a.m. and will, in approx. 1,5-hour intervals, be played successively in galleries in Graz (such as kunst.wirt.schaft, MUWA, < rotor >, Forum Stadtpark and other places). The exact schedule for arrival and short rehearsals on spot right before the actual performance, as well as further information about the preceding workshops is still tba. The approximate concert length per gallery is about 30-35 minutes hosting several program points. The concerts in each gallery therefor consist of several short contributions by different musicians/formations. The compositions are to be selected from the fields of modern classical, new and contemporary music, besides also improvisational works can be considered. Due to spatial restrictions, the formations should be in the range of solo to quartet. Larger formations, as well as those including percussion instruments and special technical equipment (unless provided by the artists themselves), must be discussed with and agreed upon by impuls beforehand. Unfortunately there are no pianos available in the galleries.
