On three days in autumn it offered concerts , lecture concerts and lectures on the work of a single composer of new music who was also a guest in Weingarten. The events took place in the rooms of the former Reichsabbey Weingarten (today PH Weingarten ) and in the basilica of St. Martin .
history
The festival was founded in 1986 by the pianist and PH lecturer Rita Jans (1931–2017) and the publicists Heinz-Klaus Metzger and Rainer Riehn and was held for the first time with a program of piano recitals and lectures. 1987–1988 the festival was organized by the Society for New Music Oberschwaben; from 1989 it was supported by its own sponsorship group. In 2001 Rita Jans received the culture prize of the cities of Ravensburg and Weingarten for her services to the festival . The 2016 festival was supposed to be dedicated to Marco Stroppa , but was postponed to 2017 for scheduling reasons and finally canceled after the death of the festival director Rita Jans. In the meantime, the support group is working on a continuation of the festival, which retains the brand essence of the previous festival and broadens it conceptually. This follow-up festival to the International Weingarten Days for New Music is called far! new music vineyard .
