The award ceremony will be on 27 September 2024 in the Sala delle Colonne at Ca’ Giustinian, the headquarters of La Biennale, during the 68th International Festival of Contemporary Music (26 September - 11 October 2024).Saunders received the award for "the refined sophistication of her research and her compositional intentions, for the attention she dedicates to the sonic microcosm, for her capacity to create a private listening area within the listener, an intimate inner acoustic space that evolves and amplifies the sonic imaginary. The composer conceives a specific temporality for each work which becomes an investigation into and experimentation with the experience of listening. Her elaboration of the sonic material is profoundly speculative and at the same time powerfully empirical and […]

Neveu and Stockhausen, 2021
This Week in Classical Music: August 16, 2021. Ginette Neveu and Karlheinz Stockhausen. Last week we promised to write about the violinist Ginette Neveu. The reason Neveu is not better known is because her life was tragically short. Neveu was born in Paris on August 11th of 1919. Her mother was Ginette’s first violin teacher. Ginette made her first public appearance at the age of seven playing Bruch's Violin Concerto no. 1 and later that same year performing Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto with the Colonne Orchestra under the direction of Gabriel Pierné. She studied at the Paris Conservatory, receiving a premier prix at the age of 11, and then continued with George Enescu and the Hungarian teacher and violinist Carl Flesch (among Flesch’s pupils were Ivry Gitlis, Ida Haendel, Josef Hassid and Henryk Szeryng). In 1935, aged 15, Neveu won the International Wieniawski Competition; David Oistrakh, who was 11 years her older, […]
