impuls Finale

The 8th impuls Festival for Contemporary Music will close with zone expérimentale basel and Ex-Sentia Ensemble, two Swiss ensembles, that originate from the Master's program for Contemporary Music at the Hochschule für Musik in Basel/Switzerland and now gain additional expertise from working with composers on site at the impuls Academy. With works by impuls Academy tutors and the world premiere of "in dysto" by Stylianos Dimou, who has already won numerous prizes in his young impressive career, 12 intensive days of the impuls Academy and the impuls Festival come to an end with almost 300 international participants from more than 50 nations and 5 continents present - in dystopian times an almost utopian project of hope for a future, that knows how to reconcile the individual and the collective and how to develop perspectives again.
