“It was through QuerKlang that I experienced a change in my own thinking: this music is something new for me and also an experience that I can view as enriching if I allow myself to.” (Nick, 11th school year)
Contemporary music often plays second fiddle in ordinary music lessons. Contemporary musical language represents a personal form of expression that is also available to musical laypersons, but this is completely factored out in the selective engagement with individual works. This results in a lack of misunderstanding and intolerance towards the diversity of new music.
The QuerKlang project aims to counteract this tendency by encouraging pupils to experiment with musical material of their own accord and create their own compositions. In addition to curiosity and an openness towards experimental music, this also leads to a fundamental understanding of the process of composing.
QuerKlang brings together three working worlds that are normally independent of one another: the world of school, the world of university-level education and the world of freelance musicians and composers. QuerKlang thrives from the tension between these three potentially conflicting worlds – it is here that they collide, conflict-ridden by all means.
