The performance of the Klangforum Wien ensemble, this time under the conductorship of Johannes Kalitzke, combines three exceptional composer personalities: Chaya Czernowin, Mirela Ivičević and Sara Glojnarić. The aforementioned female composers composed the pieces on the program specifically for the Klangforum Wien ensemble, and in them, as in their other compositions, they deal with various non-musical topics. Chaya Czernowin, for example, is characterized by engagement in the context of existential world issues and a tendency to study sound and tactile textures beyond, as she would say, rationality and conventions. Mirela Ivičević, on the other hand, in her already performed composition thematizes the horrors of fascism and suffering in BiH during the 1940s, and the versatile Sara Glojnarić tries to musically shape the pleasure that brings bliss in the composition Pure Bliss .

All three compositions penetrate into the human psyche and push the boundaries of traditional music aesthetics. In other words, they call for a change in traditional codes, recognizing the most diverse experiences, such as the experience of the otherworldly and unknowable (Czernowin), pain and discomfort (Ivičević), but also great pleasure (Glojnarić), as equally important. Intimate experiences and knowledge are manifested in different ways: in his composition, Ivičević refers to his grandfather's suffering in the mentioned war context, while Glojnarić interweaves the experiences of the Klangforum Wien ensemble with his own comprehensive musical experience. In doing so, he plays with the life cycle of the composition and personalizes it in relation to the ensemble. Namely, for each performance under the baton of a new, guest conductor, he creates a new version of the tape according to his musical affinities.segments within the score.

The ZKM space will certainly be a challenging place to intertwine electronics and live ensemble performance, both in the case of two local female composers, and in the case of Chaya Czernowin's premiere performance, created in co-production of the Wien Modern and Warsaw Autumn festivals with the 32nd MBZ-HDS. The soloist at this concert will be Uli Fussenegger, double bass player and composer, member of the Klangforum Wien ensemble. It is also important to mention that the compositions of Mirela Ivičević and Sara Glojnarić were created in the context of the Erste Bank Kompositionspreis, which is awarded to outstanding composers for their original work. Both composers are winners of the said prize, and Sara Glojnarić is the youngest winner of that prize and the first winner who is not a citizen of Austria. Sara is also a laureate of the 2023 Ernst von Siemens Foundation award for young composers,

Chaya Czernowin, whose compositional style has been described as sensual and fearless, and even as the equivalent of Picasso's Guernica , is an Israeli-American composer of chamber and orchestral music with and without electronics. She is the winner of the most prestigious music awards, and her works have been performed by the largest contemporary music ensembles in the world.

Before the performance itself, a conversation will be held in the foyer of the Zagreb Youth Theater with the participation of guest composers Chaya Czernowin, Mirela Ivičević and Sara Glojnarić and Peter Paul Kainrath, artistic director and executive director of the Klangforum Wien ensemble. The conversation will be moderated by composer Margareta Ferek Petrić. The aforementioned composer and artistic director of the 32nd Zagreb Music Biennale will also lead the program Musical portrait of the members of the Klangforum Wien ensemble, which will be held in the Močvara Club, and its aim is to present the members of this ensemble to the audience in an intimate setting.
