The contemporary music ensemble Klangforum Wien has announced Elena Schwarz & Vimbayi Kaziboni as Conductors in Residence from 1 January 2024 onward, for the next three years.
« The newly created positions of Conductors in Residence at Klangforum Wien represent a dialogue and a deeper understanding that transcends individual concert appearances, » explains Klangforum Wien director Peter Paul Kainrath. « Conductors are particularly sensitive seismographs of the international music scene and thus contribute perspectives that can inspire the ensemble to explore ever-new horizons. With the Australian-Swiss conductor Elena Schwarz and the Zimbabwean-American conductor Vimbayi Kaziboni, Klangforum Wien also aims to reaffirm its commitment as a globally active ensemble ready for new encounters. »
