Insight Sessions
The public will have a second chance to follow the evolutionary process of a new work of music theatre. In association with Kunsthaus Bregenz several open sessions will be held to offer unique Insights into the creative world of the composer and the artists working on the project with him.
After the successful world premiere of Zesses Seglias’ opera To the Lighthouse in summer 2017, the Opera Workshop now continues with round two. What form the resultant opera takes, what its content is and what sound worlds open up before the audience once the several-year-long process is finally completed, will be worked out in many sessions of intensive discussion between the artists involved. The composer engaged for the new Opera Workshop is Alexander Moosbrugger. Born in the Bregenz Forest region, Moosbrugger has lived in Berlin since 2001 and has worked a number of times already with visual artists. Both as organist and composer he exposes his audiences to a wide musical spectrum that often incorporates sounds from outside the familiar framework. Listening becomes part of the compositional process. Moosbrugger makes plentiful reference to the music of past centuries, out of which he often develops a new musical tuning system.
Alexander Moosbrugger studied music at Feldkirch Conservatoire and the State University of Music and Performing Arts in Stuttgart, supplemented by studies in philosophy at Vienna University. His works are performed by highly regarded ensembles such as Klangforum Wien, österreichisches ensemble für neue musik, ensemble recherche, Ensemble Phoenix Basel, Arditti String Quartet and Quatuor Diotima. He has been the recipient of a number of awards and grants in recognition of his work.
Starting in spring 2018, Alexander Moosbrugger will share his ideas, thoughts, challenges and doubts with the public over the next few years. In his work on the project he will be joined successively by other artists, who will be introduced during Insight Sessions at Kunsthaus Bregenz.
