Vienna Contemporary Composers Festival

The Vienna Contemporary Composers Festival (VCCF) is designed for composers looking to refine their craft, receive professional performances of their works, and immerse themselves in the rich musical culture of Vienna, Austria. Each selected composer will have their new work performed during the festival. One of the festival's key highlights is the opportunity for participants to hear their music performed by Vienna’s world-class contemporary ensemble, PHACE, or one of our renowned VCCF 2025  guest ensembles, Mivos Quartet and Ensemble Dal Niente. Additionally, the VCCF is honored to welcome Irvine Arditti, founder of the legendary Arditti Quartet, who performs—and occasionally records—works for solo violin, offering a unique opportunity for all VCCF attendees. Participants will also benefit from private composition lessons with Viennese and international composers, as well as lectures and masterclasses on contemporary music and advanced theory. Notable guest faculty members have included prominent composers such as Anthony R. Green, Alexandra Karastoyanova-Hermentin, Oliver Weber, Eva Reiter, Reiko Füting, Reinhard Fuchs, Clemens Gadenstätter, and other distinguished visiting artists.
