50 Years of the Karl Sczuka Prize
Concerts and Panel Discussion
Fri, November 25, 2005 – Sun, November 27, 2005, Festival
The Karl Sczuka Prize donated by what was then Südwestfunk Baden-Baden was first awarded exactly 50 years ago. The prize is named after the SWF’s resident composer of the initial post-war years and, in line with its statutes, honours the “best production of a work for listening that uses musical materials and structures in acoustics forms of playing”. Originally presented every two years, it has been awarded annually since 1967. SWR and the ZKM | Institute for Music and Acoustics are taking the occasion of the jubilee to relate the works of this year’s prize winners, Hanna Hartman and Antje Vowinckel – combined with discussions and performance of works – to the history of the award. Throughout the weekend visitors can listen to the award-winning works of the past 50 years at four listening stations prepared by SWR and the ZKM and installed on the Music Balcony. The entire Sczuka Prize archive can be played with the help of the ZKM| Media Resources Library.
