Tonight´s Vocal Summit is a presentation of joint forces not only of the vocal participants and partly also musicians of the impuls Academy 2025, but also of young impuls Academy composers, selected by a Call for Scores, with their pieces being worked on and presented as part of the impuls vocal program. Most of them will hereby see their Austrian and even world premieres!
After vocal ensemble coaching with Cantando Admont at the impuls Academy back in 2023, the impuls Academy 2025 is concentrating on individual singers, coached by Sarah Maria Sun, one of the foremost and most extraordinary performers in the contemporary music scene. Her repertoire currently spans around 2000 compositions from the 16th to the 21st century, including 400 world premieres. Looking back also at a career as the first soprano of the Neue Vocalsolisten Stuttgart from 2007-2014, a vocal chamber ensemble, that has been one of the world’s leading pioneers of contemporary music for decades, Sarah Maria Sun has not only regularly performed as a soloist, but also shows her tremendous adaptability and skills on the music-theater stage, amongst others at opera houses in Zurich, Berlin, Dresden, Munich, Strasbourg, Luxembourg, or the Opéra Bastille and the Opéra Comique in Paris.
