Presentation of an Interdisciplinary Project
of the Lucerne Music Academy
Prof. Elisabeth Zawadke and Students
of the Lucerne Music Academy



What motivates young composers today to write church music? To what
degree does the instrument itself inspire the youngest composer generation?
How do young organists prepare contemporary works for performance
and incorporate them into a liturgical framework?
These are questions that a workshop at the Hochschule Lucerne-Music
would like to consider more closely. At the suggestion of the organ class
of Elisabeth Zawadke, an interesting cooperative project took place at the
Department for Church Music (Markus Zemp, department head). Composition
students were introduced to the technical and acoustic details
of the organ as well as to questions of liturgy. They then wrote compositions
that dealt with both the instrument and with a given liturgical context.
Finally, the composers worked with students from the organ class
to prepare the pieces for performance. This lead to interesting exchanges
and often to quite surprising results.
The workshop would like to give you a closer look at this «newest church
music», with compositions by Maurus Conte, Lea Danzeisen und Jannik
Giger, played by Daniela Achermann, Heidi Bollhalder, Yuliya Sadykava
und Christina Tanner
