For more than the quarter of a century, the annual Klangspuren Schwaz Festival has been dedicated to bringing adventurous new music to Tirol. Apart from performances of leading ensembles, it offers instrumental workshops for students of all ages.
Since its foundation in 1994, the Tirol Festival for New Music has become one of the most refreshing, innovative and comprehensive festivals of its kind. The proven concept to combine international high-level contemporary music with local customs is the foundation of its programming. In the year 2022, the Tirol Festival for New Music will take place from September 9 to 25, 2022 under the direction of Italian composer and music curator Clara Iannotta and Tirol-native composer, musician, and music curator Christof Dienz. The Klangspuren Festival brings top national and international musicians and prestigious contemporary artists and ensembles to Schwaz. In addition to performances of leading ensembles, the festival will offer music and composer workshops, concerts, and more. There will also be instrument exploration sessions named “Klangspuren Lautstark” (‘Klangspuren Loud’) and “Klangspuren Lautstärker” (‘Klangspuren Louder’) for children and young adults, in which participants learn about the extraordinary variety of sounds (applications required).
