musica viva

musica viva was founded by the German composer Karl Amadeus Hartmann in 1945. It is one of the world’s most famous events for future-oriented and contemporary music, where many experimental works and performances for orchestra and chamber music receive their premiere. Director Winrich Hopp took over musica viva in 2011.
