Research project

Overcoming Borders - Connecting People in Music: Grenzklang is a people-in-music connecting project with a special focus on inter- and transculturality. It doesn't matter if it's cultural, linguistic or age borders across which people connect with each other in the context of Grenzklang and come into a (musical) exchange.

The Grenzklang project is about connecting and bringing people together in making music. All those involved in the project should learn together from, with and about each other. For this purpose, various ensembles have been founded that are dedicated to transcultural and often intergenerational music-making. In addition, Grenzklang offers students a practical education. Students can gain practical experience in leading groups in and with the ensembles and at the same time broaden their musical horizons to include the music of different cultures.

Grenzklang is intended to help promote cultural diversity, to view it as a resource and to make it more visible in Tyrol. People living in Tyrol are therefore cordially invited to participate in one of our ensembles (Children's and Youth Choir, Adult Choir, Family Singing, Intercultural Ensemble, Ensemble Fifth Floor).
