The impuls Academy 2021 is welcoming composers and - for the first time exclusively - already existing ensembles and chamber music formations as participants this year.

Furthermore impuls also calls sound and multimedia artists, performers, individual musicians, actors, dancers, instrument designers to participate in some Special Programs, that explicitly follow interdisciplinary topics and approaches.

The impuls Academy is closely interlinked with the impuls Festival, which will see its 7th edition in 2021.

As the number of applicants often exceeds the number of available places, we recommend to apply as soon as possible. Notification of acceptance is given continuously, specially where candidates are equally qualified, but not later than November 15th, 2020, in case acceptance cannot be guaranteed immediately on application already. impuls also maintains a waiting list, as it is not unlikely, that places open up through cancellations. As to ensembles/chamber music formation, we expect applications and decisions already by end of summer 2020, if not earlier, so preparation can start for potential working-programs, calls and similar.
