Eclat Festival

In the organizer's words:

As a festival of the independent scene, ECLAT Festival neue Musik Stuttgart maintains its important place alongside the major radio-based European festivals of new music. For over 40 years, the festival has stood for a great openness towards all new music trends, for a willingness to take risks and a desire for the unexpected. With a focus on artists who virtuously exploit the possibilities of digital media by playing with genres, dissolving space, perspectives and functions, ECLAT presents its curious and attentive audience with idiosyncratic interdisciplinary formats between music theater, performance, installation and concert staging. The focus is always on projects that question the familiar, reflect current artistic discourses and are located in a social context. ECLAT is characterized above all by its own productions and international co-productions, but also by collaborations with cultural actors in the region. For example, the prizewinners' concert for the Composition Prize of the state capital Stuttgart is a fixed part of the festival, as are the two concerts by the SWR Symphonieorchester Stuttgart and SWR Vokalensemble, which the SWR always brings to ECLAT as a cooperation partner.
