The Biennale Musica 2024 is dedicated to the concept of absolute music, highlighting its topicality through important works commissioned from the most original composers active on the world stage. In sixteen days of concerts and theoretical events, the Festival will highlight the meaning of music as an autonomous language and the ontological status of sound, showing the state of the art of this alchemic and involving discipline, entering the laboratory of the most rigorous and inventive composers and performers who elaborate scores, programmes, codes and performances, without any extra-musical or visual references. London-based composer Rebecca Saunders is awarded the 2024 Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement for her investigation of instrumental sound and the intimate, hermetic poetry of her acoustic architectures. The Frankfurt-based Ensemble Modern is awarded the Silver Lion 2024 for its indomitable and courageous creation of musical projects in collaboration with the most interesting and recognised composers and performers in the field of different media and musical languages.
