This evening is clearly about the new, the young and the experimental, and that is exactly what a thank you to Lothar Knessl needs: The co-founder of Wien Modern, who died on 6 August 2022 at the age of 95, decisively rejuvenated musical life in Austria with passion and commitment. Angélica Castelló directs our gaze towards the sky and the universe. Milica Djordjević invites us to slow down with her study of nocturnal sounds. Matthias Kranebitter explores the psychoacoustic cocktail party effect with the RSO Vienna in full swing. Sara Glojnarić, the youngest of the three Erste Bank Composition Prize winners to be heard here, increases the density with a "micromechanics of perfection", not least for chief conductor Marin Alsop. Mirela Ivičević draws the ancient demoness Lilith in a radiant feminist orchestral portrait, "unpredictable, untamable, wild, full of flaws, unadulterated".
