| 📣 : STUDIO DAN im Das MuTh - Konzertsaal, Bühne & Programm |

🎶 YOU BETTER LISTEN! geht in die vierte Runde und bleibt auch in der Saison 2026/27 Programm: Studio Dan und Das MuTh holen Verstecktes vor den Vorhang, geben neuen Stimmen Raum und begegnen Ikonen jenseits vertrauter Rituale. Mit Werken von Kristin Norderval, Myra Melford und Olga Neuwirth, einem Abend für Laurie Anderson sowie den Composer-Performer:innen Isabella Forciniti und Matthias Muche setzt die Reihe ein klares Zeichen gegen die Routine. Es ist eine Einladung an alle, die genauer hinhören wollen – und eine bewusste Abkehr von bequemen Gewohnheiten zugunsten einer Kunst, die nicht ohne Reibungsh*tze auskommt. Fixer Bestandteil der Serie ist das beliebte Amuse Gu**le: 45 Minuten, in denen sich die Grenzen zwischen Bühne und Auditorium auflösen und Studio Dan sein Publikum direkt in seine Mitte holt.

| 🔥 : Academy Second Modernism |

🤩 Since its inception in 2024 by the Wiener Festwochen, the 𝘈𝘬𝘢𝘥𝘦𝘮𝘪𝘦 𝘡𝘸𝘦𝘪𝘵𝘦 𝘔𝘰𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘯𝘦 has striven to establish a gender-sensitive music culture with the aim of increasing the proportion of works written by composers and to create a global and diverse composition and performance . Each year, they invite composers, whose works will be performed by Klangforum Wien.

🥁 This year, Nyokabi Kariũki, Tania León, Elaine Mitchener, Bára Gísladóttir and Ailís Ní Ríain negotiate a discourse concerning cultural identity and participation from a postcolonial and inclusive perspective; Imsu Choi, Sofia Jernberg - singer, composer, Anna Korsun, Keiko Abe, katarina gryvul and Nicole Lizée devote themselves to a feeling of fellowship and connectivity as transcendental power, which in a world rife with fantasies of omnipotence, wars and religious conflict reclaims a space for humanity.
