Manos Tsangaris
Schönes Wetter in Gmunden. six public private performances (2023–2024 UA) – 60′
Comissioned by Wien Modern in the context of Schönberg 150

When Manos Tsangaris composes, not only sounds and words find new forms, but also spaces and audiences. The composer, percussionist, artist and poet, born in Düsseldorf in 1956 (incidentally, he has just been awarded the Mauricio Kagel Music Prize and elected President of the Berlin Academy of Arts), is summarizing his engagement with Arnold Schönberg in a large, new, and in a certain sense, walk-in group of works at Wien Modern.

Schönes Wetter in Gmunden (19th–21st November), a series of six “public private performances” at various locations in the Brahms Hall for nine listeners each, leads into one of the most dramatic and momentous episodes in Schönberg’s biography at the Musikverein.
