The theme of this year’s "Days of New Music," Zurich’s festival of contemporary music, is “Confessions.” These can be ideological, political, religious, or aesthetic in nature, as demonstrated by the diverse works featured in the concerts.
Founded in 1986, the Days of New Music have been organized by the City of Zurich since 1994 and take place in the first half of November. This year’s festival runs from November 14 to 18 and is curated by the Tonhalle Orchestra and the Collegium Novum to mark the 150th anniversary of the Tonhalle Orchestra and the 25th anniversary of the Collegium Novum.
KlangForum Heidelberg will be represented here on November 15 with a concert. The program features works by Luigi Nono ("diario polacco N. 2"), Georg Friedrich Haas (from "Schweigen"), José María Sánchez-Verdú ("scriptura antiqua," among others), as well as the work “sasso nell’oceano” by Aureliano Cattaneo for eight singers and double bass, which premiered last fall at the DIKTATUREN Festival of the KlangForum Heidelberg.
The premiere of "cubic relationship" (for voices and harp in microtonal tuning) will also feature a new work by Caspar Johannes Walter, one of the leading exponents of microtonal refinement.

In cooperation with the SWR Experimental Studio.
