The SPOR of the future lies 10 years back
SPOR is unique because the festival, like few others, uncompromisingly places scored music and sound art on a par, and every year sends classical music’s rigid set of rules packing. In 2005, a group of young composers paved the way for the festival we know today, with an annual guest curator and an international vision. But it was the programme proposal for the 2007 festival that with the question Composing What? solidly planted SPOR’s clear curatorial concept in Aarhus and laid the foundation for every succeeding SPOR festival, its artistic leadership and growing international family.
