Since its founding in 1991, the isa has developed into an internationally unique university-based continuing education program that combines top emerging artists with an interdisciplinary academic conference. Under the artistic direction of Vice Rector Johannes Meissl, over 200 outstanding musicians from more than 40 nations receive formative impulses for their artistic development and professional careers each year.

Under the theme “global – local,” isa26 explores the tensions between global networking and local roots in music, art, and science. At a time when international collaborations, cultural diversity, and shared societal goals are increasingly under pressure, the isa sees itself as a forum for dialogue: different artistic backgrounds, aesthetic approaches, and practices are consciously juxtaposed and critically reflected upon.

PHACE will perform new works by participants of the International Summer Academy’s Composition Masterclass at the closing concert on August 1.
