Many happy returns

Prizewinners from past editions of the competition, composers and performers alike, return and bring exciting new musical works with them - some brand new, and some returns to history. Joined by some of the festival’s most familiar faces and Black Pencil Prize members, jury members take their expertise on the podium, side-by-side.

Yuri Akbalkan (*1986), Prooemium praeter rem for Bohlen-Pierce harpsichord and electronics (2025/26, premiere presentation of the work-in-progress)

 

Yuri Akbalkan’s Prooemium praeter rem (2025) explores the sonic world of the Bohlen–Pierce harpsichord. Drawing on the unique 13-step non-octave scale discovered in the 1970s, this piece blends Renaissance and Baroque harpsichord traditions with sensors, effects pedals, and live electronics.

The work was commissioned by the Musikstadtfonds of the Ministry of Culture and Media Hamburg.
