The renowned composer Klaus Lang opens the Konradfest with a mass written especially for the Konradkirche. His "Missa Maxilla" is a work of great clarity and reduction—music that listens to the space and sees the acoustics as a partner.

Filialkirche Hl. Konrad

A late summer evening, a quiet space, a work of unusual delicacy: The Konradfest festival comes to a close with Hymns and Variations by John Cage. In the Resurrection Chapel in Straß, early church sound patterns meet radical reduction – a musical breath that questions more than it explains.

Together with the VOICES Festival Berlin and director Philipp Grigorian, Klangforum Wien creates immersive listening experiences with contemporary music. The "Nachspiel" concert creates spaces for an intimate, intensive encounter between audience and artists. Visitors are invited to immerse themselves in the radical experience of New Music and to leave the distance between listener and performer behind.

VOICES Festival: Nachspiel

Kühlhaus, Berlin

With his multilayered, poetic work – full of consistent and radical austerity and yet provocative humour – the composer Hermann Markus Preßl continues to influence the following generation of musicians, especially those of the Graz music scene, even 30 years after his death. Like few others, Preßl managed to put death at the center of his work addressing it with such lightness and directness while never slipping into the pathetic. By including mystical concepts such as the "holy nothing", Preßl’s work offers a multifaceted projection surface.
