Klangspuren 2022 - new artistic dual leadership
In its 29th edition, Klangspuren presents itself with a new artistic profile: for the first time, a dual leadership curates the program. With the Italian composer Clara Iannotta living in Berlin and with the Tiroler composer and musician Christof Dienz set the sound traces 2022 on a broadly put on, various program of new and/or. newest music, because with the programmed works of the altogether 18 festival events in Schwaz, Innsbruck and Rotholz it concerns almost exclusively Ur- and Austrian first performances (9 UA, 8 ÖEA).
"We are both inspired by the unbelievable variety at music, genres and artists, which distinguishes the international and Austrian music scene at present. This is one of the great challenges facing organizers, festivals and curators today," emphasize Clara Iannotta and Christof Dienz.

TYROLEAN FESTIVAL FOR NEW MUSIC
Klangspuren Schwaz, the Tyrolean festival for new music, was founded in 1993 and has since developed into the largest and most successful festival for contemporary music in western Austria. Since 2019, programming has been in the hands of music curator and journalist Reinhard Kager, who succeeded Matthias Osterwold, Peter Paul Kainrath and festival founder Thomas Larcher as artistic director. Since its inception, the festival has taken place annually in September and has been significantly shaped by the rotating Composer in Residence as a liaison between the festival and the International Ensemble Modern Academy. Since 2019, the Improviser in Residence has been at his side, spearheading the new two-day format IMPROV#1-#6. In addition, Klangspuren Schwaz sees itself as a promoter of the contemporary music scene on a local and international level through the alternating integration of the music education projects Klangspuren Mobil, Klangspuren Lautstark and Klangspuren Barfuss into the festival program, as well as through the commissioning of compositions and the development of new projects.
