Akademie für Neue Musik Boswil
Künstlerhaus Boswil is pleased to co-host the upcoming Academy of Contemporary Music with the Hochschule der Künste Bern (HKB). With this edition’s focus „out:spoken“ we are looking for instrumentalists, vocalists, composers, sound artists, creators, actors and performers to bring co-creative performative pieces with a strong connection to the spoken word in any form to the stage. Join us for our Masterclasses in Composition and Interpretation – this time in a modular structure featuring micro inputs, keynotes, inspirational talks and masterclasses with artists including Juliet Fraser, Daniel Gloger, Lennart Dohms, Noam Holdengreber and Carola Bauckholt.
Our out:spoken team will create contemporary music while seeking to push musical, conceptual, and dramaturgical boundaries through the use of language, words, and sounds. We will embrace the integration of multidisciplinary perspectives and cultural influences, and disrupt the typical confinements of a traditional concert music setting. We set out to explore new possibilities to involve our audiences and to discover how to use content, spoken word and elements of language to give performance a voice that is relevant to, and shaped by the world in which we live.
One of the pieces written by the participants of the Masterlass Composition will be chosen to become part of one of the concerts featured in the regular Seasonal Program of Künstlerhaus Boswil.
