LIMINA — CONTEMPORARY MUSIC FESTIVAL SALZBURG 2025

The aim of the fes­ti­val, which has been orga­ni­zed at the Mozar­te­um Salz­burg sin­ce 2014, is to pro­mo­te inter­na­tio­nal col­la­bo­ra­ti­on bet­ween com­po­si­ti­on stu­dents and young con­tem­po­ra­ry music ensem­bles from various Euro­pean count­ries. The com­po­sers app­ly in an open call for a com­mis­si­on from one of the invi­ted ensem­bles to wri­te a new pie­ce for their instru­men­ta­ti­on. The ensem­bles sel­ect up to four com­po­sers them­sel­ves from the appli­ca­ti­ons recei­ved and sup­ple­ment their con­cert pro­gram with seve­ral works from their own reper­toire. Every autumn, the­se con­certs are then pre­sen­ted over three days in the two venues on Mira­bell­platz and the new­ly crea­ted works are rehe­ar­sed and pre­mie­red. The fes­ti­val events thus offer an insight into the latest aes­the­tic deve­lo­p­ments in the field of con­tem­po­ra­ry music and its inter­ac­tion with elec­tro­nics, video and performance.
