Brigitta Muntendorf

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Brigitta Muntendorf (* 1982 in Hamburg ) is a German-Austrian composer .

Education

Muntendorf studied composition at the Hochschule für Künste Bremen and at the Hochschule für Musik Köln (HfMT). Her composition teachers were Younghi Pagh-Paan and Günter Steinke in Bremen, and Krzysztof Meyer , Rebecca Saunders and Johannes Schöllhorn in Cologne . She completed her studies in 2010 with the concert exam in Cologne.

Artistic career

In 2006 Muntendorf won first prize in the composition competition of the Berlin orchestra Sinfonietta92 with the composition Klangviren for orchestra . The world premiere was in October 2007 in the chamber music hall of the Berlin Philharmonic . In 2009 she founded the ten-person ensemble Garage, which unites seven nations, which deals with today's artistic intentions in an intermedia and music-theatrical manner. As artistic director of the ensemble, Muntendorf develops transmediale and interdisciplinary concert programs together with the ensemble and has been curating the “Frau Musica (nova)” series on Deutschlandfunk Cologne since 2012, which promotes female composers of contemporary music and experimental electronics in particular.

Her final exam at the conservatory was followed by a scholarship for a six-month stay at the “Cité Internationale des Arts Paris”. This and other study grants at the International Künstlerhaus Villa Concordia in Bamberg (2014–15) and the Villa Kamogawa of the Goethe Institute in Kyoto (2017) enabled her to pursue a wide range of further training, which in particular promoted the composer's “interdisciplinary” work. Muntendorf "pursues the idea of ​​music that not only refers to itself through the most complex contextualization possible, but also creates connections to other forms of expression." In her works, she particularly deals with the interactions between a "digital culture based on translations of real needs and the Artificiality of individuality apart ". The focus is on the compositional and scientific examination of the interactions between the individual and the community in the reality-virtuality continuum and the resulting changes in communication and the dynamics of one another.

In 2011–2015 Brigitta Muntendorf composed three pocket operas with Wer zum Teufel ist Gerty , Endlich Opfer and Bronze by Gold in collaboration with director Thierry Bruehl for the Salzburg Pocket Opera Festival. Another music theater was created as part of the Munich Biennale 2016 in collaboration with Abdullah Karaca ( FIGO ) and the social media opera iScreen, YouScream! (2017) in collaboration with the director Michael Höppner for the Eclat Festival Stuttgart. In 2016 she and the choreographer Stephanie Thiersch presented CITY DANCES by Anna Halprin, a large-scale city happening that combines music, dance and community. In addition, Muntendorf has been working on the Public Privacy series for solo instruments, video and electronics since 2013 , in the course of which she also established the term “social composing”. Transmedia and acoustic ensemble pieces at the interface between contemporary music and experimental electronics in a wide variety of formations also form constants in her work.

In 2013 Muntendorf received a teaching position for composition at the University of Siegen and since October 2017 she has been teaching, initially as a substitute professorship, and since 2019 a regular professorship for composition at the University of Music and Dance Cologne .
