When Manos Tsangaris composes – not only do sounds and words find new forms, but spaces and audiences do, too. Born in Düsseldorf in 1956, the composer, percussionist, artist and lyricist (who has just been honoured with the Mauricio Kagel Music Prize and been elected President of the Berlin Academy of the Arts) brings together his exploration of Arnold Schönberg in a large, new and walkable group of works at Wien Modern.

At a total of four locations around Karlsplatz, Arnold Elevators will become a festival within a festival between November 13th and 21st, with PHACE, Studio Dan and numerous soloists and objects: Blicke in the Secession (13th–15th November) invites you to explore six locations on an individual tour from the basement to the roof, from the goods lift to the conference room. Schönberg's fascination with looks, glances, and views (‚Blicke‘ in German) leads us step by step to a polyphony of musical-theatrical points of view. Schönes Wetter in Gmunden (19th–21st November), a series of six "public private performances" in different parts of the Brahms Hall in the Musikverein, each for nine listeners, leads into one of the most dramatic and momentous episodes in Schönberg's biography. At the Double Portrait with Arnold in the Neuer Salon of the Wiener Konzerthaus (19th–21st November), the audience swaps places during the interval. And on three evenings, the Arnold Schönberg Centre will become a Metabolic Salon with a wide variety of discussion partners.
