Brigitta Muntendorf (1982, Hamburg) is a German-Austrian composer has internalized ‘referentiality’ as a compositional principle in her music (music to kin) and creates a multi-layered web of analog-digital modes of expression in her works. Her settings range from instrumental, choral, and orchestral music to transdigital music/dance theater and 3D sound/AR installations. She established the concept of social composing, appeals to media sensuality and collaborative forms of production in the form of a community of practice. Her works are performed by numerous ensembles such as Klangforum Wien, Ensemble Modern, Norwegian Soloists’ Choir, Mocrep Chicago, Musikfabrik or Les Siècles at festivals worldwide, such as Festival d’Automne Paris, Ruhrtriennale, Donaueschinger Musiktage, Elbphilharmonie Hamburg, Warsaw Autumn, Munich Biennale, Musica Strasbourg, ULTIMA Oslo, Art Share L.A., ONASSIS Athens, Metro Club Kyoto, TPAM-Festival or Kyoto Experiment. Melencolia is Muntendorf's debut in the Holland Festival.
