| Description | It is rather simple really: in the kitchen we cook, in the dining room we eat, in the bedroom we make love and in the concert hall we listen – that is why it was built, why it was conceived, why it exists. That there is always such a blather about it, much of it worthless; that everything is, inappropriately, clothed in exclusivity, fashions, trends, effects and virtuosity; that music’s immanent means are thought insufficient; and that an event, a show, theatricality, multimediality and suchlike are felt to be needed – all of that is actually superfluous. From what is superfluous we seek to free ourselves; we want to remove the “obstructing objects in order to win free space” for music to be listened to without interruptions. We create a space for listening. The programming of the 29th year of the international festival Exposition of New Music is very puritanical. We do not offer extra-musical messages, unusual venues or formats, but only music, the score and its ideal performer. We offer the possibility of listening to contemporary autonomous music. A symphonic concert, three chamber concerts, three solo recitals and four parties await us. |
