Brigitta’s new work will explore the relationship between the performers and audiences, inviting the public to actively comment on and shape the direction and outcome of the piece in real time, gauging opinions and feedback along the way. The work is part of a CONNECT commissioning series, in which she is creating a new work for five major European Ensembles: London Sinfonietta, Ensemble Modern, Ensemble Intercontemporain, Remix Ensemble and Asko / Schoenberg Ensemble. Brigitta’s new work will be performed in London in the Autumn of 2026.
This new work is funded by the Art Mentor Foundation Lucerne as part of the CONNECT series of commissions which began in 2015.
More About Brigitta Muntendorf
The German Austrian composer Brigitta Muntendorf explores the fragility of socio-political and techno-social concepts in multilayered musical narratives and modes of expression. In her works, she embodies concepts of Radical Listening, Environmental Storytelling, and Immersive Theater, she has also established the concept of Social Composing and appeals to media sensuality and collaborative forms of production. Her settings range from instrumental, choral, and orchestral music to audio-visual (AR-) installations and trans-digital music/dance theater. Her artistic research on 3D-Audio and AI-Voice Clones takes place in scientific-artistic collaborations with partners such as d&b audio and S+T+ARTS / Ars Electronica.
In addition to numerous prizes and artist residencies (particularly influential were Villa Kamogawa, SWR Studio Freiburg, and Cité International des Arts, Paris), she has been awarded the Ernst von Siemens Music Foundation’s Young Composer’s Prize and the German Young Music Authors Award of GEMA. Since 2018 she is also professor for composition at the HfMT Cologne and director of the Institute for Contemporary Music.
