Trying to ensure that the imprint of the festival program lasts as long as possible after the festival itself ends and reaches as wide a community as possible, the MBZ has organized a day-long musical meetings with babies, elementary and high school children and students. It will start in the morning with the youngest, and by the afternoon will get to the student-instrumentalists and vocalists assembled in the ASMANGU, new music ensemble of the students of the Music Academy. Since the 2016/2017 academic year, this ensemble has become a place where students taking university courses have the opportunity to broaden their theoretical and music-history knowledge of new music by interpreting it themselves, but at the professional level. With the help of their mentor, tenured Professor Berislav Šipuš, the ensemble holds two concert programs at the Music Academy each academic year, but it also participates in various contemporary music events in Croatia and abroad. This time, the students will improve their knowledge in a workshop led by the MBZ’s resident ensemble, the Klangforum Wien, and will perform a newly composed piece by Sara Jakopović and a piece by a great composer Vinko Globokar.These two composers, inclined to creating musical collages, playing with improvisation and/or questioning ideas of (un)mimetic musical processes, will inadvertently put before the young interpreters the task of developing and through performance, creatively exploring various performance tehniques specific to New Music.
