1974 and 2014, 1958 and 2013 – Four and five and half decades respectively separate the founding dates of the ensembles performing in the Mozart-Hall this weekend. In one of the birthplaces of new music, Wien Modern invites you to experience close up exciting new developments from within the last three generations. The youngest of the four ensembles, in particular, has its finger on the pulse of young composers – that's no surprise, really, as Matthias Kranebitter and the winner of this year's Erste Bank Composition Prize, Mirela Ivičević, were both part of the foundation of the Black Page Orchestra. The ensemble's inaugural concert at Wien Modern and the festival's theme of growth dovetail nicely, as the adventurous Vienna collective is more interested in daring leaps between minimum and maximum than attaining classical perfection in an ideal zone. From Kaj Duncan David's post-digital, binary minimalism to Hikari Kiyama's punchy punk rock gestures, the Black Page Orchestra isn't afraid of showing its true colors.
