Till Brönner is Artist in Residence at this year's KlangART Vision.
KlangArt Vision is an unconventional festival in the best sense. It does not focus on music presentations, but enables real encounters on different levels: personal, musical, spatial. Young and talented musicians work in professional settings, make music in new places, in unusual contexts.
High-ranking musicians and composers open their musical field to other genres. In these encounters, something new can emerge without giving up one's own authenticity. Encounters at eye level, which I live every day in my work as a musician and photographer. That's why I'm delighted to be accompanying this festival as artist in residence. - Till Brönner
