A collaboration with the Gustav Mahler Research Centre in Toblach and the musicology department of the University of Innsbruck began in 2019: A composition workshop was set up under the direction of institute director Federico Celestini and composer Stefan Hakenberg, inspired by Henze's similar initiatives in Montepulciano, Deutschlandsberg and Munich.
As part of the DFG project "Henze Digital - Hans Werner Henze's Artistic Network", the international and interdisciplinary symposium "Music, Networks, Self-Testimonies: Current Research on Hans Werner Henze" with researchers and companions took place.
The composer's efforts to create a stage version of the television opera La Cubana date back to the early 90s of the 20th century. Now the magnificent result can be seen at the Staatsoper Berlin on the stage of Linden21.
The group came together in March 1999 to rehearse the work as part of the Young Culture organization in Hallein and spontaneously chose its name after the piece by Hans Werner Henze.
The Executive Director of the Hans Werner Henze Foundation attended the performance of Das Floß der Medusa in Yekaterinburg (Sverdlovsk Oblast), Russia, at the invitation of the organiser. Here is his report:
