This prize, worth \u20ac\u00a0250,000, is regarded as the most important classical music award in the German-speaking region. In explaining its decision, the Ernst von Siemens Music Foundation praised Neuwirth as an artist who, \u201cwith her music, sets out on radical new paths that lend contemporary music a new face while also intervening, taking a stand, and not shying away from addressing wrongs. Neuwirth, who has been creating works that combine feminist concerns with multimedia practice ever since the late 1980s, is one of her era\u2019s most influential composers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Olga Neuwirth, who was born in Graz in 1968, studied painting and film in San Francisco as well as composing at the mdw. In 1991, the premi\u00e8re of her \u201cmini-operas\u201d based on texts by Elfriede Jelinek at the festival Wiener Festwochen in Vienna made international waves. Her outstanding music theatre works include <i>B\u00e4hlamms Fest<\/i> (1998), <i>Lost Highway<\/i> (2003), and <i>The Outcast<\/i> (2010). And more recently, in 2019, Neuwirth\u2019s <i>Orlando<\/i> after Virginia Woolf was given its world premi\u00e8re at the Vienna State Opera. Important works to date also include compositions for orchestra, chamber formations, and other types of ensembles as well as film music and audio-visual installations situated at the interface between music, film, architecture, and fine art. Since autumn 2021, Olga Neuwirth has been teaching at the mdw as a professor of composition. The award ceremony of the Ernst von Siemens Music Foundation will take place at Munich\u2019s Prinzregententheater on 2 June 2022.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-2' class='gallery galleryid-7515 gallery-columns-1 gallery-size-large'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.mdw.ac.at\/magazin\/post-1_image1-jpg-204\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"850\" height=\"567\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mdw.ac.at\/magazin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/post-1_image1-1024x683.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-2-7518\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mdw.ac.at\/magazin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/post-1_image1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.mdw.ac.at\/magazin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/post-1_image1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mdw.ac.at\/magazin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/post-1_image1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.mdw.ac.at\/magazin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/post-1_image1-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.mdw.ac.at\/magazin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/post-1_image1-2048x1366.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.mdw.ac.at\/magazin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/post-1_image1-850x567.jpg 850w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-2-7518'>\n\t\t\t\t\u00a9 Rui Camilo\ufeff, Ernst von Siemens Musikstiftung\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This March, Olga Neuwirth was announced as the 2022 recipient of the international Ernst von Siemens Music Prize.
