What motivates and inspires young composers today? What concerns them artistically, socially, and politically? And how do they respond to it in sound? You’ll discover the answers at the Composer Seminar’s final concert. It gives a platform to six emerging composers from Brazil and Belgium, China and South Korea, Turkey and the United States. Selected from more than 100 applicants, they first discussed their new orchestral works in plenary sessions and in individual coaching with Dieter Ammann and Unsuk Chin, the Seminar’s two directors. Most importantly, they were able to rehearse their pieces with the musicians of the Lucerne Festival Contemporary Orchestra (LFCO) — a unique opportunity that lets them test their sonic ideas in real time. Now they present their new works to the public. Ammann and Chin will introduce the composers during the concert, illuminate the background of their music, and help guide your listening.
