Music in space
he opening concert of Wien Modern 2024 puts an end to the classic spatial separation between stage and audience: almost 60 years ago, composer and architect Iannis Xenakis created an ear-opening audio and spatial work of art with his rarely performed radical work »Terretektorh«. Part of the score is a 360° spatial concept that brings together 88 orchestral musicians and the audience. Ingo Metzmacher conducts the RSO from the middle of the Great Hall of the Vienna Konzerthaus. From there, he also directs the waves of sound rolling back and forth across the audience in the spatial composition »Become Ocean«, for which John Luther Adams was awarded the Pulitzer Prize and the Grammy Award ten years ago. The winner of the Erste Bank Composition Prize 2024, Nina Šenk, born in Slovenia in 1982, is expanding the most unusual of her great orchestral works for this festival evening. The three very different works have one thing in common: they make the myth that new music is difficult to communicate, inaccessible etc. look very, very old.
