Traiettorie 2023

The Festival Traiettorie for modern and contemporary music was founded in 1991 in Parma (Italy) and has become a leading festival for contemporary music in Italy and Europe. In 2023, the festival celebrates its 33rd edition, made possible by the Ernst von Siemens Music Foundation. The focus this year is primarily on works from the Central European music repertoire. These works – some of which are world premieres – will be performed by international ensembles and soloists.

Traiettorie has always pursued the promotion of world premieres and the recent repertoire, with a particular focus on electroacoustic and electronic music, and commissions young composers. At the same time, the festival aims to keep the classics of 20th century music alive in the Italian music scene and to put them up for discussion by today's generation of listeners.

There will be a major concert by Klangforum Wien to mark the centenary of György Ligeti's birth, as well as new compositions that offer a representative picture of contemporary trends: numerous world premieres and first performances will be heard alongside works by important established composers. Another focus will be on electroacoustic music, with a concert by AGON, an Italian assosciation working in the field of research, performance and production using the latest computer technology. The concert will feature the premiere of a piece by Francesco Maria Paradiso.
