Concorso internazionale Luigi Russolo di musica elettroacustica
The Luigi Russolo Prize was founded in 1979 as an international competition for electroacoustic music and commemorates the Italian artist and composer Luigi Russolo, a pioneer of noise music. Originally conceived for young composers of electroacoustic and electronic music, the prize developed from a single category into several sections, including electronic music, mixed music and radio art. Since 2017, the Russolo Prize has been awarded exclusively by audience vote at concerts worldwide.
A special concert moment: this year, the Luigi Russolo Prize will be decided on the Vienna Acousmonium by the voices of the audience. Listen with us — and become part of the jury.

Concert of the Fondation Annette Vande Gorne
The Fondation Annette Vande Gorne was founded in 2022 to support young composers at the beginning of their careers in the production of acousmatic works. In addition to calls for residencies, the foundation also initiates concerts in which acousmatic music is presented in the context of international artistic positions.
The Fondation concert presents works by Jaime Reis, Daniel Teruggi, Hans Tutschku, Annette Vande Gorne and Elizabeth Anderson, bringing together different generations and aesthetic approaches within acousmatic music.
