„Die Zukunft ist hell“ lautet das Motto von Music in the Alps 2023, dem 10-jährigen Jubiläum des beliebten Festivals!
Die New Yorker Konzertpianistin und Musikprofessorin Dr. Irena Portenko lädt als künstlerische Leiterin bereits das zehnte Mal
zum „Music in the Alps“-Festival nach Bad Gastein. Internationale Stars wie der führende tschechisch-ukrainischen Kontrabassist Taras Volos oder Counter-Tenor Jeffrey Palmer sind ebenso unter den MusikerInnen und KünstlerInnen wie ProfessorInnen und Studierende aus der ganzen Welt.
Fans der Festival-Reihe erwarten unter dem Motto "Die Zukunft ist hell" leidenschaftlich musikalische Begegnungen – in stilvollem Ambiente und sprichwörtlich umarmt von den Bergen.
Konzerttitel wie „Thank you for the music“, „One enchanted evening“ und „Schubert with Candle light“ versprechen große Gefühle und Musik auf höchstem Niveau, die Hoffnung auf eine strahlende Zukunft geben soll.

On July 15th the topic of presentation is to be announced. It will be a short story by a famous author. You will have three weeks to read, absorb and digest reading material. At the end, you will have to come up with a way to illustrate this short story by musical sounds. It can be done solo, in collaboration with someone else (in the vocal or instrumental field), it can also be interdisciplinary exploration with a dancer, artist, narrator etc
The main idea is to use the sound palette to convey both story and a message, intended by the author.
The time given for each presentation should not exceed more than 10 minutes (5-7 minutes is the perfect length).
Location TBD
Lectures and Q&A sessions will be presented and live-streamed on Friday, August 7th and will feature several members of our faculty and performers.
