Zum bereits 15. Mal lädt IMPULS mit den „impuls MinutenKonzerten“ zu einem akustischen wie visuellen Rundgang durch Grazer Galerien ein. Junge Musiker:innen und/oder Studierende (die derzeit in Österreich oder Umgebung leben) sind herzlich dazu eingeladen, sich 2024 zu beteiligen – mit Werke/n des 20. und 21. Jahrhunderts oder einem Konzept für ein improvisiertes Stücke (ein Vorschlag/ein spezifisches Werk ist völlig ausreichend, es können aber mehrere Vorschläge eingereicht werden). Die Musik- und Galerietour 2024 startet am 25. Mai um 10 Uhr und wird in ca. 1,5-stündigen Intervallen sukzessive in Grazer Galerien (u.a. Grazer Kunstverein, kunst.wirt.schaft, esc medien kunst labor, MUWA, Forum Stadtpark und anderen Orten) bis spät in die Nacht hinein stattfinden. Dadurch bietet sich die Möglichkeit, sich mit Künstler:innen, Musiker:innen, Galerist:innen, Kurator:innen, Kunstfreund:innen und anderen Mitmenschen auszutauschen, und Musik und Kunst in einem neuen Zusammenspiel zu erleben.
Young musicians and/or students (due to organizational and cost-related reasons currently living in Austria or close by) are invited to participate in 2024. The music and gallery tour 2024 starts on May 25th at 10 a.m. and will, in approx. 1,5-hour intervals, be played successively in galleries in Graz (such as Grazer Kunstverein, kunst.wirt.schaft, esc medien kunst labor, MUWA, Forum Stadtpark and other places) until late night. 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 to be announced and discussed individually on acceptance.
Short info on the impuls MinuteConcert-format
- The approximate concert length per gallery is about 30-40 minutes hosting however several programs presented by different musicians/formations.
- The program is focused completely on modern classical, new and contemporary music, improvisational and conceptual works are considered as well of course.
- Hereby each contribution should not be much longer than approximately 8-10 minutes maximum, shorter pieces than that are welcome alike.
- 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 anyway), must be discussed with and agreed upon by impuls beforehand.
- Unfortunately there are no pianos available in the galleries.
To get a better understanding for the format of the impuls MinuteConcerts you might also want to have a look at programs of former editions – e.g. on www.impuls.cc/archive-since-2022/events-2022/256-minuteconcerts
