ARTISTIC RESEARCHARTISTIC RESEARCH
Artistic Research Coaching:
Internationally renowned performer Barbara Lüneburg, Professor for Artistic Research and director of the doctoral programmes at Anton Bruckner Private University, will offer coaching in artistic research.
Artistic research is fundamentally research for the arts, through the arts, and using the means of the arts.
In her workshop Lüneburg will discuss your project while asking questions such as:
What are methods of artistic research?
How to develop research questions out of your arts practice?
How to answer your research questions from the perspective and out of your individual arts practice?
How to take into account the general knowledge and experience of yourself as artist and artistic researcher?
How to carry out your investigations with the means of art and through the artwork itself?
How to feed back your findings into your next emerging artwork, performance and arts practice in general?
The workshop is open for beginners and advanced artistic researchers of all arts practices.

YOUR CAREERYOUR CAREER
General Information for the Career Sessions
Nowadays a professional musician needs to be prepared for the music market: It is not possible anymore to only concentrate on practicing if somebody wants to have a career. A personal consultation on an individual base allows musicians to ask questions about the music business and about ways to optimize one’s own success.
- Artist materials such as CVs, Demo CDs, photos etc. will be analyzed together and the importance of self- management will be discussed. A good opportunity to get crucial input and impulses for individual career strategies. Please think about questions you would like to ask.
Every participant will have a one-on-one appointment with arts manager Andreas Vierziger, who worked internationally for highly renowned soloists and now focusses on concepts. He furthermore focuses on independdent projects, programming and branding, thus developing new synergies and shaping classical music in a contemporary way.
www.andreasvierziger.com
Discussed content is flexible but can focus on e.g.:
- career possibilities
- analyzing/ creating artist materials
- wording for e.g. biographies, letters, etc.
- recommendation letters, reviews, biographies
- repertoire for concerts, CDs, DVDs
- producing demo CDs, D VDs
- producing websites
- social media + information management
- collaborating with presenters or agencies
- right approach towards artist photos
- branding
- general questions about the music business
- of course you can speak about anything that you consider to be important for your individual career.

Wednesday, 19.08.2020 / 14:00WHAT IS STYLE IN PERFORMANCEWHAT IS STYLE IN PERFORMANCE
For many students, style is a frightening word. When they hear “you play not in the style of the composer”, they understand that they did something they were not supposed to: used too much rubato or too much pedal, for instance. Thus, the word “style” begins to signify a list of prohibitions, of things you must NOT do. In this lecture we’ll talk about things you CAN do, you should do, you are encouraged to do in the performance.

Wednesday, 19.08.2020 / 18:00isaSCIENCE – BEETHOVEN AND THE DANGERS OF HERO DISCOURSESisaSCIENCE – BEETHOVEN AND THE DANGERS OF HERO DISCOURSES
Keynote
In the wake of the Harvey Weinstein scandal and the #MeToo movement, classical musicians came forward to accuse conservatory teachers and conductors, who too often modeled themselves on autocratic despots, of sexual harassment and statutory rape. The heroes of yesteryear – James Levine, Charles Dutoit, and Placido Domingo – to name just the most famous ones, became symbols of what was rotten in the heart of classical music.
As we celebrate the 250th anniversary of Beethoven’s birth, it is imperative to question the legacy of heroism that has grown around the composer. The irascible creator of the Eroica Symphony, the hearing impaired author of soul-stirring music, a champion of individuality – Beethoven exemplified what heroism meant to the Romantics. Following the evolution of hero discourses in classical music and political life from Beethoven’s time to now, I question the viability of hero worship in this musical culture moving forward. During this pause in our concert life, I invite the audience to envision a different future for classical music, one that is inclusive rather than exclusive, that embraces equality rather than hierarchy, and that props up the community rather than the solitary hero.

Thursday, 20.08.2020 / 16:00CHAMBER MUSIC TALK – „INDIVIDUALITY AND COMMUNITY“CHAMBER MUSIC TALK – „INDIVIDUALITY AND COMMUNITY“
Discussion
Chamber music, just like any other form of teamwork, is situated somewhere in that creative realm between the development and autonomy of individual personalities along with their ideas and the collective thought and action necessary to achieve the goal that has been set. The “complex system” of a chamber music group—with its various levels of interaction and communication among the members, between them and the work being performed, and between them and the audience—opens up an entire cosmos of possibilities.
Susanne Schäffer, Patrick Juedt, and Johannes Meissl talk about experiences, aspects, and perspectives—from the joy of collective flow to creative conflicts and on to strategies for overcoming difficulties.

Thursday, 20.08.2020 / 18:00BEETHOVEN’S NOTATIONBEETHOVEN’S NOTATION
Lecture
To perform Beethoven’s music in a manner that approaches the spirit of its creator, it is necessary to decipher (to the extent that this is possible with the available evidence) the implicit messages that were embodied in his notation, which very often require a reading that is by no means literal.

Friday, 21.08.2020 / 10:30LOLA PRESENTATION VIENNA – PRAGUELOLA PRESENTATION VIENNA – PRAGUE
In specifically artistic training distance learning is about immediately responding to or implementing something you’ve just heard or been shown. So the important thing in such lessons is having a technical system that provides the best possible transmission of the sound and the fine points of artistic expressivity. Teachers need to be able to hear and see the students as clearly as possible via the audio and video system in order to be able to give them precise instructions and recommendations. And a special technical challenge comes in the form of concerts in which the musicians play together from different locations, connected via audio and video, with the audience seeing and hearing part of the ensemble via a technical medium.
