The upcoming SoundScapes #3 Festival, 2021 in Munich, is a new metamorphosis of the previous SoundScapes Festivals 2016 and 2018 / Helsinki. Thirteen European Masters from the international avantgarde music scenes of Instant-Composing celebrate the inexhaustible variety of ensemble processes taken to the extreme. The audience is drawn into an irresistible maelstrom of the here and now.
Remaining true to the basic idea of giving space to outstanding Finnish and European musical personalities of different generations SoundScapes 2021 will once again delightfully unfold the countless possibilities of ensemble instrumentation from the art of the duo to the art of the tutti to there full extent.
The festival will take place in “schwere reiter“, Munich 1. – 2. October 2021.
It is organized by Offene Ohren e.V., Freunde der Improvisierten Musik, with support of Initiative Musik – a Neustart Kultur project.
The concerts will be broadcasted and recorded by Bayerischer Rundfunk.
